Well... this is mostly just a test to see how this blog works. We're leaving for Japan on Saturday and are amazed at how fast time has flown by especially these last few weeks. Jud and Carrie's wedding was on Saturday and we had a great time seeing family and friends one last time. So now we're just getting last minute details taken care of before we head off. Both of us have a plethora of emotions about leaving for a year, but excitement and anticipation have won them all. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures of last week on Lopez (if I can figure out how). Thanks for visiting us and please make comments...we want to hear from everyone!! We love you all!
