Still here, but...

Well, we're still in Canada, but we finally have news. We got the word just a little while ago that we would be leaving the second week of November so we would be there before or contact leaves on the 14th. Jen has been very helpful in playing the go-between for us and our boss, so we've really appreciated being able to keep in touch with her.
While it's a little bit of a shame that we're leaving so much later than we had hoped, it's good that we new know approximately when it will be so we can actually begin to prepare and not have to worry about scenarios like waking up to an email saying we have 12 hours to pack up our lives and move halfway around the world. this way we get a little time to be thoughtful about how and what we pack, and a little more time with friends and family before we go.

Good to Go!!!

At long last, we are done ALL the paperwork needed to leave for Korea! Our passports arrived from the Korean Consulate this morning and we've emailed our boss in Korea, so now it's just a matter of him booking our plane tickets and getting to the airport.
It's been a long and (almost unnecessarily) complicated road, but here we are on the cusp of a new adventure, and from here we'll try to update as regularly as possible so you can all read about our adventures in Korea over the next year (or so).
Because neither of us are terribly consistent at updating our blog yet, you can get more up-to-the-minute updates by following me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/neverdar where I tend to post several times per day.
As always, we welcome your prayers and encouragement as we embark on this journey.
