Until Our Adventure Begins

Well we have signed up for this journal for when we begin our real journey in December. Our first move was here to Minnesota to grab seasonal jobs working May thru November so we are free to actually begin our dream of traveling and eventually moving abroad.

We have really enjoyed Minnesota, and when we are not relaxing on our deck after 11 hour work days, we can be found canoeing down the St Croix River finding an island to pitch a tent on. We are also enjoying many visitors here while we still can before being to far away. Dan, Topher, JJ, Angel, her husband Josh, Dad Sherman and Kim & Chuck have all made there way out for weekend visits. We look forward to many more before December.

What else is new? Well we have a pet that will have to be cared for while we are away. His name is Fred and he is a beautiful, very smart Beta Fish. John has taught him to jump for his food, which everyone thought was impossible, but really happens. Come and see for yourselves. Angel will bring us our first grandchild in March and we are very excited about that! This will cut our trip a couple of weeks short but be will worth it.

We are cutting this short just to make sure it works. Before we end, here is our up to date e-mail address and phone number. When we are in Panama and wherever else our adventures take us, you will all see when we get to places that have internet access and be notified that we have added a blog. Please feel free to e-mail us also but know that it may take a bit for us to get back with you.

We will make more journal entries from Minnesota before we head out to Panama so please write us to let us know you are getting them.

Smiles,
J&D

So That's Why I Can't Find You In Washington
Guess who moved to Washington and was wondering why he didn't get returned email? I took a job with Microsoft. Marianne and the kids are still in Loveland. Tough commute. I am in Loveland this weekend too. Wish we could see you. Our Love to Everyone, The Baughs

Countdown
I love The Countdown update - 60 days, 15 hours, 15 minutes. Sounds like a rallying cry if you ask me, or another mantra :-)
