Mardi Gras 2009

Here's a picture of us at Higland Ball for Mardi Gras. The theme was British Invasion. Our costumes and masks are made of duct tape. We had a great time (the last Shreveport Mardi Gras for a while). Didn't get in trouble this year-darn it!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step

Contracts are mailed-waiting on confirmation of receipt. We've been contacted about making travel arrangements to Kiev. Passports are in the works. Ebay auctions are going well. We've taken the first few steps of this journey. We are settled in for the long haul till the end of the school year and the roller coaster finish in August. Hopefully that will just be a layover on the BIG trip.

Signed, sealed, delivered

We got our contracts via email Thursday! No more lingering doubts. I guess this is real! We are already selling things on ebay and to friends trying to shed belongings. Need any furniture? Shop with us first! Have any big suitcases? We can make a trade! 6 months till lift off!
