First of all, Joann, I want to thank you for a wonderfully entertaining web experience. I had no idea what weird things are out there on the www.
Down to business... I think we all unanimously agreed that Fogarty Creek was the beach of choice. Danny and Betsy think that we should shoot for a 10am-ish gathering time. Those of you that have farther to travel, please chime in if that is too early for you! So, now that leaves meal planning. If we do gather earlier, that means both lunch and dinner. So, maybe we have sack lunches or hot dogs for the noon meal, and "real" food for dinner? Or an inexpensive restaurant for dinner (pizza, anyone?). Let's start conversing now so that we aren't scrambling at the last minute for details...

It HAS been awfully quiet in this Blog, hasn’t it? I keep checking for updates from all of you, but not adding anything from me. So I guess it’s time for you to hear from me again.
Yesterday I went house hunting. I actually had an appointment with a realtor, and she showed me 3 houses in Harrisburg and Junction City. I found a house I really like. I could be happy with it without looking anymore! ‘Course it’s a bit more than the others, but not a lot more, and it doesn’t need any changes inside. It has 3 large bedrooms, a wonderful kitchen, a huge living room, lots of storage, two “shops” attached to the house (so they’re like more rooms, and would be great for work rooms and/or rooms for guests). Also a two-car garage. And it’s right across the street from a city park with a covered pavilion and picnic tables that we could use if we had a large group there. I don’t know if this is the one the Lord has in mind for us, but if it is, it would be okay with me!
I’m excited about the prospect of having my own place again. We’ve been here for almost 11 months now, and I’m more than ready for a change.
Thanks, Danny for keeping us posted. We look forward to time with you and Betsy next week. You are in our prayers.
Love to all of you.
Your Mama

Peachy (and peary too)
Since this blog seems a bit sad lately, I thought I'd liven it up. Check out all of these highlighted words...they lead to a world of fun:).
Life in Newberg is consistent and casual...the way I like it...I could handle some fun things to do however. I spend my time working (which I'm loving 'cause I get to force people to listen to Christmas music if I want and I can wear Converse every day..bwah ha ha!) and watching movies (mainly at home, however I did go see The Terminal yesterday and I highly recommend it...God bless Tom Hanks) and reading and ummm...do I do anything else? Oh yes! I pester Kimmie with record amounts of voice mail and I pester Beth and Matt with my laundry and pineapple eating skills and occassionally I pester Timmy by calling him at 6 in the morning on my way to work and I (this next website is serious...consider yourself warned) pester Danny and Betsy some way, I'm sure, and I pester Mama and Daddy by either not calling often enough or by refusing to earn enough money to pay them back the oodles of money they lend to me:) It's a gift really. Perhaps a calling. Maybe even destiny.
You ask, why? Why is Joann being so silly and boring and even predictable? I'm searching for my inner Mommy Afternoon.

Where are you??
Hey all, awful quiet in here! We are having a wonderful time here. Lots of learning, not enough rest. Pray for strength over the last three days! Looking forward to spending time with you all in the near future. Beth & Matt, see you on Saturday. Mama & Daddy, see you on Wednesday, everybody else, see you on Friday!!
Love you lots!
Danny
Love you lots!

PFO
well, some interesting ideas. . .
Pre-Field Orientation!
It is continuing to go well, but it is tiring as we are in classes from about 8 am til 5 pm with little breaks for lunch and snacks.
Pray for strength and rest for us as we learn all these things about what will be happening in our transition, and as we learn about the kids we will be working with. They are a unique group (that is TCKs Third Culture Kids) that have grown up in a different place than their passport comes from. Whether American, or Korean, or Indian, or African, or. . .
Love you all!!
Danny
