We are still alive!

Hello dear friends,

We've been back to Wisconsin for about 8 days now but it feels like a long time, because we've had so much to do. We haven't forgotten our promise to write more, especially Frank, I think, as he's shared less than I have to this point, but since we're trying to move to Portland, OR, which is clear across the country, in less than a month, it's been very hectic. And after having been in Nigeria, where we learned to slow down and actually enjoy our days and live life fully, it has been very hard to get back into the frantic way of life here. In addition, I finally graduated two days ago so our families have been here, and today is Mother's Day and tomorrow my birthday, so we've been busy celebrating and entertaining.

I did want everyone to know that tomorrow, we're going to have an open house where all of our friends and supporters can stop by to see our pictures (we printed about 250 of them and I've already enjoyed showing them to many people)and hear our stories and see the Nigerian handicrafts (including our clothes!) that we brought back, and also so we can thank people personally for caring about us and Nigeria. So you Nigerians, everyone's going to hear about you tomorrow, and how much we loved you! And everyone else, I wish you could all come. Anyway, we'll be in Portland for about a week starting on Wednesday to find a house and a job for Frank so please keep that in your prayers! Thanks a lot, more later!
