Birthday Week!

This past couple of weeks we've been overloaded with information. We went through some tough sessions this week and now we're wiped out. Luckily, we got to celebrate in the middle of the week for my birthday. We went to Cheesecake Factory for some delicious respite from cafeteria food. I also got a lot of emails and calls on my birthday, which was really nice. Some of them were from our team members in Prague I haven't even met yet! How nice! We're getting ready for our last few days now before we head to Texas and then to Prague. We've got some fun last-minute assignments, then commissioning, then we'll be off. I think it's just starting to hit us that we won't be seeing our friends that we've made here for quite a while and our family and friends back home for probably longer. So we plan to get in a lot of visiting while we're in Houston. I hope some of you are planning to come see us! We've really enjoyed our time here and we've learned a lot about the work that we have ahead of us. We've also really enjoyed the friends we've made here. It's really been a blessing to have people to just relax with and be goofy. We also got some pictures this past week of the apartment we'll be in when we get to Prague. That was kind of a reality check that we're actually going! Before it was this far away thing on the horizon...now it's here and we've actually seen where we'll be staying. Crazy! I've got another fun story for you but I don't have the pictures yet so I'll get that up soon. Anyway, here's our photo extravaganza for the week...



Okay, this is sideways but you can just tilt your head. We decided the end of the breadstick looked like a nose so I tried it out. It only worked if I leaned my head back...



Cute picture, huh? Yeah, we were falling over...



And here's the whole gang outside Cheesecake Factory.
