It's that time again.....

This time last year, and the year before, and the year before.... Will's parents left the country to teach abroad. They are very passionate about teaching and education. We (Will, Po, and I) went to visit with them last Wednesday (the 13th) at the hotel they stayed at before they left us for another year. It's so hard seeing them go. We worry about them quite a bit, but are very excited for them at the same time. This time their adventures are taking them to Cairo, Egypt. That would be an awesome place to visit, let alone stay there for a year (or 2 in this case..)

They signed a 2 year contract. So, unless they decide they don't like it, which is what happened with teaching in Indonesia.. (they left for Indonesia last year, around this time, and came home in December) now, we won't see them again until June 2009. We will spend a few months next summer with them, and then they are off again... in August.

It's really hard for Will to see his parents leave again. He misses them a ton when they are not here. The only way to really communicate with them when they are overseas, is via email. (We still haven't heard from them to see if they made their journey there safely, by the way.) Will and I would like to go meet up with them in June '09 before they head home for the summer. They'll know their way around and it will be nice to have someone who knows what to go see. I have never been out of the country, and Will has never been to Egypt, so it would be something new and exciting for both of us! We have a lot of saving up to do, and things to pay off... so, we'll see if it happens. We also really want to get hitched next summer, so we really need to get our butts in gear.

On another note, I have to apologize for not being good about blogging this year. The last entry was from January... Sorry about that... You get lazy, or forget, or just plain don't feel like doing it... Anyway, I promise to be better about blogging for the rest of the year. I get on every once in a while to check out everyone else's blogs, and feel guilty because I haven't been good about blogging myself.
