We have given over our budget and sponsor letter for approval to the office in Colorado Springs. We are "patiently" waiting for approval to come back. After this, we will be able to get an account number and officially start raising funds! When this happens, we will put a heading on the main page here with a direct link to donations. That way, people can go directly to the EMI (Engineering Ministries International) site and donate through them (tax free!). This will be a big next step for us. Essentially, Phase II. But, it will be a lot of praying and work to get through Phase II !
About being able to breath: I have just this week, found some potential homes for Riley, Meeko and Doodle! It is so good to have hope and be able to breath again!
PS - Today is our Anniversary - 24 blissfull years! (if you believe that, I have a bridge!) But we had a wonderful day full of soccer, and more soccer and some shrimp scampi and creme brulee (thanks to Trevor!)

We have Been Accepted!
We have been officially accepted by EMI - Yea! Our term will start on Jan 1. Now comes the fun part: we need to get our budget approved and start raising the necessary funds. Not sure how all this will play out. We are all in His hands!

Moving To Kenya!
Hello All,
Well, we have made the decision to move to Kenya. We are going to Kijabe, Kenya to help with the construction of an extension on a Hospital. It will be a new experience for us! We are used to working on Nuclear Power plants, not kid's wards!
We are all very excited. The kids are going to go to Rift Valley Academy (http://www.rva.org/). It is an amazing school. A great book to read (or site to visit) to learn more about living there is http://www.yourpal-steve.org/
It was written by a man named Steve Peifer that has been living and working at the school since 2000 ish.
We will be going with EMI (Engineering Ministries International) (http://www.emiworld.org/) We are waiting for our official approval letter. After that, we will be focusing on raising the funds to be able to go.
Please check in often as I will try to post many of the trials and tribulations of this adventure!
