Homeless and unemployed

That's right...as of Saturday, we're officially homeless and unemployed. Big shout-out to all who helped us move this weekend. Everyone was speedy and efficient.

Helpful tip to anyone moving: always unscrew the TV cable before moving the TV out to the truck. If you don't, you will only get so far...

We're going to miss living in "the hill" and our first apartment together. But, we moved in with Drew, Amy, and Graham, and are taking advantage of their hospitality. Just finishing up some last minute packing and spending time with family and friends before we leave on Friday.

Goodbye apartment on College...we'll miss you.

Letter

We sent out a letter this week thanking everyone for their help and prayers. I hope you are receiving them. Laura is finishing up her last weekend shifts and then just has two more left on Wednesday and Thursday.
I am not sure how this blog thing works but i think you can respond to posts. If so, please reply without hesitation, it does not have to be well thought out or anything. This is my weakest post so far but i just wanted to start getting in the mode of blogging.

Update

We are leaving for Haiti on July 3, 2009. Our tickets are open ended and we are planning on returning around Christmas. In the last few months we have been getting ready to leave and be effective when we get there. Learning Creole is a challenge and we are not that good at it. I hope to do a blog in Creole eventually. Laura is excited to start taking care of babies medical needs. So, what is Kurtis doing? Well, I'm not going down there to paint walls. I have been doing some additional studying on Play Therapy. I will be doing therapy with the orphans on a regular basis. I am new to play therapy but am excited about using it to help these kids. I will not bore you with the therapeutic language that describes play therapy. Its simply a process of helping kids discovering self. The play therapy process should be fun and i think the kids will enjoy it.

Oh, no big deal but i will be graduating from graduate school in a few weeks. I can't wait to be done with school. Laura has 6 more shifts of work left before she is done.
We are going to start blogging more frequently now, i hope you find our post interesting and we will try to make it fun.
