Jakarta or Bust!

Hello out there in BLD Land! It was a sad day a few weeks ago when I had to drop our respectful decline in the mail for Lincoln and Laura's wedding. Jason is already in Jakarta and I leave Houston this coming Saturday. I think it's about as far around the globe from Williamsburg as anything could possibly be.

The good news is that email works there. Amen for that! I may be a more frequent poster to the Blog with all the free time I'll have with someone else to do all the cooking and cleaning in the house. Just kidding...I'll have to ease into the idea of having a full time maid, but nearly every ex-pat does. We'll see.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Delaware New Years, but at this point we're not sure that we'll make it back to the states for Christmas. Here's to hoping...

Laura, hang in there through these last few weeks! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Safe travels, Amanda! We'll miss you at the wedding, but I'm sure you're looking forward to being with Jason again. I can imagine it's hard being so far apart. We'll be praying you can come home for Christmas, even if you can't make it to New Years.

Hey Amanda!

Wishing you the best in Jakarta. i will probably be the closest to ya once I get back to Hawaii so let me know if you need a vacation or something like that. I also got friends in Thailand if you need anything.

Will be praying for you of course.
