What about Bangladesh?

I have to confess I love it when people leave comments on the blog. Sometimes you wonder if folks ever really look at it. So glad that many of our family and friends keep up with us. You guys are wonderful!

So in response to the many questions about what the new little one means for our Bangladesh plans... Pretty much everything is the same. Originally we had thought we'd leave late November. Now we're thinking late December or early January. A slight delay just to get all the necessary paperwork in hand, but we're excited to join the team in Bangladesh as soon as we can.

The timeline from now until then-

--Jason's last day of residency is June 30th - yea!!
--Big party on July 12th to celebrate (if we missed you on the invite list and you'd like to come, please just let us know) :-)
--Family time before and after the party; we're going to the beach with my family
--Studying for general surgery boards afterwards, first exam on Aug 14th, second late Sept or Oct
--End of Aug, Jason and I get to take a little "us" trip
--Move in with Jason's folks sometime in Sept.
--Mid Sept, go to North Carolina for Samaritan's Purse orientation
--Expecting baby late Oct or early Nov
--In Texas for Thanksgiving! We hope to see many friends too.
--Pack for Bangladesh and depart.

Probably more than you wanted to know, but we do covet your prayers as we finish residency and head into this time of big transitions. We're excited to see what the Lord has in store but fully recognize there will be many challenges - both known and unknown. Our gratitude for the many prayers you have made on our behalf already. Love from all of us!
