Moving to our village

Hey Guys,

Nate and I will be moving into our village tomorow with our host family for 5 weeks. We are excited about the adventure that lies ahead. We dont expect running water but we hope for some electricity. We have been also learning Kreol for the last two days. I cant wait to try some out with everyone. The food here is good. Tons of carbs. mumm. We got a phone yesterday and will hand out the number as soon as possible. You guys can text us and call us. Just rememeber 2 hour difference eastern time. Also, as of tomorrow, we will not have internet access except on fridays. Yay. So email us and let us know how you are doing. It is easier to reply back to emails. We love everyone and miss everyone so much.

Greetings Everyone! Photos Uploaded...

Greetings everyone!  I uploaded pictures of our first couple of days in Belize.  Most of the photos you'll see are from our Saturday, 28-03-2010 trip to the Baboon Sanctuary.  We're loving it here and are learning so much in our first 4 days.  More to come along our journey.  Love to all family and friends!

We are safe in Belize

Hey all,

We got in Belize on Thursday and we just got internet access tonight. Sorry for the long delay. So, the weather is 90 degrees. The PC staff rock. We have been in day long trainings that remind me strangely of RA/HD training at JMU. Nate and I are currently in a hotel that has electricity and ac. We will however, will not have those things on Thursday. We will be moving in to our village on Thursday. We havent gotten sick yet, but we have lost a few pounds because we have been hot, sticky, and havent been that hungry. We cant wait to show pictures (they are to come). Also, I know I promised to tell everyone what we packed. That will be in one of our next two blogs...promise. We love and miss everyone so much. Nate will be posting pictures in the next two days or so (hopefully if we get access).
Love, Nate and Michelle

PS...Nurse Jackie's (our PC nurse) thoughts to us is : Dont get bit. Dont get hit. Dont get lit. and Dont eat shit......

Cats in Va. Beach

So we are now in Va. Beach. We are hanging with Mel, the twin, and we brought the cats to their new home for two years. What a strange feeling. I personally think Lilly is going to LOVE being a beach girl, just as soon as she comes out from under the bed. Baxter has adjusted well to the new move. I swear he thinks he is in heaven with all of the windows and warmer weather. Nate and I are going to miss them like crazy but we know they are in good hands.

Leavin NJ

Today we say good-bye to all of our loving family in New Jersey. We had a blast shpn...wink wink:) We also had a blast seeing everyone. We will miss everyone very much but cant wait for you guys to come visit. Oh and we also found out that Susan's b-day is the same day that we are leaving. March 24th is awesome!

3 pigs, 30 people on a bus

So....finished work and spending some QT time with some special people. We watched the Belize video today from some PC volunteers. This is what we picked up....volleyball is HUGE there. So is rice and beans, and corn. Finally.....one thing to remember is their saying: Belize. You better belize it!

How are we leaving in March already?

So, we are currently getting ready for our big trip. Filling out paper work, saying good bye to friends and family. Eating a lot! We are looking forward to what lies a head, but boy, we are going to miss everyone and our cats!
