Kansas, the Land of Ahhs!!!

We have arrived in Kansas! We made it in Sunday evening and even though we are about 4 days late, we're thankful we made it safe & sound. By the looks of these clouds, Brad & I are hoping we may experience some good old fashioned Kansas Thunderstorms!!!

I'm posting a bunch of entries from the last month that I didn't have time to complete, what with Brad finishing school, me quitting my job, moving out of our apartment, preparing to move to Chile, seeing friends and our family visiting Philly. So take a minute and have a look back - it has been a busy, but exciting month!

Tomorrow, we leave to visit Matt & Erika in Hong Kong!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Hendrices!

John, Andrea, & Jack



We visited our friends John, Andrea, & Jack in St. Louis as we were driving to Kansas! We had a great time! Jack really loved India. Thanks guys!

Leaving Philly

We finally got our visas and left Philly this afternoon! A huge thank you to Joe & Carolyn for letting us stay with you guys for a few nights! India already misses Calvin - please pass that on to him!





India is having some difficulty being zipped up in her bag. At home, she liked to sit in it, but she doesn't like to be stuck in it. She pretty much mowed for 2 hours straight - all the way from Philly to Harrisburg. After a while we let her out and she explored the car and then fell asleep on top of the carrier! She just wants to be in control. Hopefully she will get more used to it by the end of our trip and will be ready for the flight to Chile!!!!

Graduation

Brad's graduation was held at the Academy of Music in Center City. Brad's parents and my parents came for a few days. It was fun and we were all so proud of Brad!

Happy Mom's Day!

We were lucky to spend Mother's Day with our mothers this year! This morning my mom, Brad's mom & I went and had pedicures and manicures. We all felt pampered and hope to do this more often!

Small Group Send Off & Graduation Party!

Our Small group/Bible study from Tenth had a dinner for us on Thursday night. Troy & Katie, thanks for being such amazing hosts and for sharing your precious puppy with us all! We are very thankful for the friends we've made in our bible study.

My mom came into town, so she was able to come with us. It was great to have her meet our friends in Philly! We had such a nice time!

On Sunday, we had a graduation party for Brad. All our parents were there and friends from Tenth! Thanks everyone for celebrating this exciting time with us!

Saying Adios is Hard!

The Recreation Department took me out for lunch today - we went and had Mexican, my favorite!!! You all are a great bunch of people to work with and I will miss being a part of the Department! I love you all!

Surprise Party

I am so sad to be leaving my job! My coworkers and residents are so great. They had a surprise party for me today! I was truly surprised! I'm going to miss you all so much!

Packing Craziness!

We're in the middle of packing!!! Can you find India????

Stoop Sale

Today we had a stoop sale, which is like a garage sale or yard sale. However, we have neither in Philadelphia, so we call it a stoop sale! We were able to sell a bunch of our things and spend a nice morning out in the beautiful weather! Joe & Carolyn came over and hung out with us! We had the Liller/Lewis special for lunch - a pizza and cheesesteak from Lazaro's! Yum! We will sure miss you guys!!!!!!!!!

Later in the afternoon, my dad arrived from Kansas and we went and had coffee with some of his friends from Lancaster County! It was a great day!
