The first part of the trip:

Greetings, and a HUGE thank you to Katie Stromlund for posting for us while we traveling in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The first part of the trip went well-we got up to Minneapolis, despite the weather, and got to Washington DC around 8 last night. After a quick dinner and repack we both enjoyed one last night sleep before the big flight today. I got up around 5 ish this am (it is debatable if I ever really went to sleep), finished the treadmill and got on the internet quick before our shuttle takes us back. We are flying out around 11 am today and hope to be in Addis Ababa by 8am tomorrow am (their time).

Tomorrow is sight-seeing and checking into the guest house of the adoption agency, really

Tuesday is the first official day of the trip with going to a museum and then meeting our Ethiopian Social Worker.

Prayers and support for this journey and for everyone's health is always appreciated.

We hope to have a new update sometime tuesday! Take care all!
