So, the last month has been good to us. Things have been busy and chaotic and wild, and we have learned to function with a lot less sleep than what is normal and/or healthy. To anyone who sheltered, fed, or otherwise helpd us this month (like say, throwing a party on our behalf...) you are a fantastic and beautiful human being, your aura looks like a DayGlo swirl of compassion, and small, magical woodland creatures will sing your praises, etc. Special thanks to Kris for enthusiastically putting up with us all this time.... (We promise to buy you a life-time supply of Q-Tips one day!!)

We leave early, early Friday morning. Our itinerary looks something like this: Wake up, drive to Houston in a one-way rental car, while avoiding rush hour traffic. Fly from Houston to Newark; Newark to Rome; Rome to Belgrade, with layovers at every stop. All in all, we estimate at least 20-24 hours of traveling... Hooray!!! We'll be back in touch sometime after we get there. Love love love, everybody!
