It has been forever since we have posted last and we thought we should give you an update on what we are up to now...
On Friday, we took the excruciating-ly long and boring drive to NJ (and did I mention expensive?) I mean, the roads are really nice in Pennsylvania, but does it really need to cost $60 + dollars in tolls just to get to Philadelphia? Anyways, we made it safely to our friend's house in NJ. We met Eric last March in Gabon. It's funny how God opens doors before you even realize. He offered a place to stay back then, and we decided to take him up on the offer.
Eric has 4 kids ranging from the age of 6 to the age of 12. He also has a wonderful wife that has helped to make us feel like we are at home! Speaking of which...they totally hooked us up! We have our own room, bathroom, and attic area to hang-out. Did I also mention that we have a whole wing of the house to ourselves? This area includes a living area and a pool table! Not sure if we are ever going to move to Philly :).

I mean...how can you leave this little girl behind for too long? |
For those of you that don't know, we are moving to Philly because I am starting PA school at Philadelphia University in July. (Go Rams!) It has been a long time coming, and I can't wait for school to start. Moving to Jersey is just one step closer to moving to Philly and finally creating a place we can call home! Let me tell you, it has definitely been exciting so far!
