Último día en los Estados Unidos

We are now writing from New York City-- our last night in the U.S! Although our journey started when we packed up and left Salt Lake City, the real adventure begins tomorrow when we board our flight for Bogotá! We have had a great couple of weeks in Connecticut spending time with our families and visiting friends. We had a wonderful time on Christmas and New Years driving back and forth between parties, eating far too many large meals a day, and spending as much time as possible with our nephew!

Thanks to Dad, Liz & Jamie for all the amazing food and for letting us win at cards. Thanks to our siblings and Mom for teaching us how to make traditional pierogies...and giving us the stomach bug, but then taking care of us! Thanks again to our grandmothers, and to Mom and Glen for taking such good care of Loki while we are gone. We will really miss all our friends and family in CT and UT. Although we are a bit nervous, we are extremely excited to meet the other WT volunteers and step foot on what will be our home for the next year.  We will not have regular internet access during orientation but will post again as soon as possible.

We are grateful for all of the encouragement and words of wisdom from our supportive family members! Thanks again to everyone who made a contribution towards our trip. Your support and generosity has made this possible for us. 

This is what a year in 7 bags looks like.
