FOR SALE!!!

Keegan's parents have allowed us to store some of our stuff in their basement. But it's already quite full. So, we'll be getting rid of a LOT of stuff in the next 3 weeks. I feel like we're having a "Going Out of Business" sale---EVERYTHING must go! So, here are some things you can consider buying.

Furniture
  • All of the items pictured above.
  • 2 Queen and 1 double mattress sets

Most of the above needs to stay in the house until we get a contract, which could be any day now, we hope.

Other Stuff

  • A huge Baseball Card collection (1989-1996). I figured it's at least worth a shot...
  • Random house things like our trash cans, brooms, toilet bowl brushes (ok, we'll throw them away!), picture frames, linens, a blue rug, set-around type stuff, books, games, a dirty clothes organizer/hamper, our TV, VCR, DVD Player, Two all-beef patties and special sauce, some lamps, blankets galore, a boombox, Printer, several unmatched and holey (holy?) socks, clothes baskets, hangers, and, um, surely we have more stuff....
  • Our 2002 Ford Focus with 97,000 miles....maybe
Let us know if you are interested in anything. I'm not sure if we'll end up having a garage-sale type of thing because, well, we're running out of town. Keegan, being lazy and slobish, is off most days this summer and is therefore home if you want to get something.

The Journey Begins...Kind Of

This isn't really the beginning of the journey. It's more like the beginning of another leg on an already long journey. The beginning was really years ago, when we first started thinking. It's been over a year since we began to seriously consider Africa. We thought we'd know specifics in advance. But, here we are, less than 2 months away. Maybe later we'll go back and tell more about the real beginning of the journey. For now, let's just focus on the present and the future.

Well, it is really happening! After over a year of pursuit, the door has opened for us to move to Africa. We have the opportunity to go to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for 2 years. For those of you we love and will miss, this will be the best way for us to stay in touch! While we are excited about what is to come, we are nervous and a bit afraid.

As of today we do not know everything. We know:
Keegan will be teaching at Andinet International School in Addis.
Anne will likely work for the school
The school will be providing housing....that's all we know now!
We'll be in Addis for 2 years, perhaps more.
We'll be leaving August 7th, very likely. We hope to purchase airfare today (for much less than we thought!)

The list of what we do not know would be too long to post here. As we go through the process of actually getting to Ethiopia, we'll update this. But the fun and excitement will really begin when we arrive!

Thank you for journeying with us, both in the US and as we serve internationally!
