There have been a little bit of a change in plans for us involving our stay in Ethiopia! We are so excited to say that we have decided to stay in Ethiopia until our Embassy date, which is typically 3-6 weeks after the court date! YAY! After saying this, if our embassy date is going to be 5-6 weeks after court we will have to come home for work but we are planning on staying the whole time and praying that our embassy date is sooner rather than later!
Although we are very excited about this, it is also extremely stressful! This is something we have just decided in the past week and it changes our whole thinking on our trip. What and how much do we pack? I mean, diapers alone could take up a whole suitcase! How are we going to make housing arrangements? What activities will we do while we are there? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
However, I did have a sign today.
Don't you see it?!?! It's Africa in the tomato! Brian thinks I am crazy!:)
But don't you think it is a sign!:)
32 days until Ethiopia!!!!!

So excited that you guys have decided to stay:) I wish we could stay but our schedules just won't allow it:( I am praying for a quick Embassy date though, so hopefully our turn around will be nice and short! Hoping to meet you guys in about a month!

Lindsey, I would love to take over a package for you!
Ok, I can totally see Africa, but if you hadn't pointed it out, I would have never noticed it...so just the fact that you noticed should say something...right?? It's totally a sign.
Very exciting!! I don't think staying is in the works for us either but I'm so glad you guys will be able to! I'm hoping for quick embassy dates:) See you in a month!
