October 2007

I'm writing this in spurts, out of order, which would usually bother me to no end. But for our friends and family who want to know the "story" I'm trying to put it in a neat little package that goes by month. October 2007 found us inquiring from America World about an application. After much prayer and "what are we crazy" comments, we filled out the papers and sent them off. We didn't tell the kids right away, wanting to get this first step underway. What if we didn't qualify? What if they took one look at us and said, "No way, you are really a bunch of dorks." But in our defense, we did have four kids already, all seemingly normal-ish. We did something kind of right! We passed inspections indeed and the ball was rolling.
