I can't believe you are there! Where exactly are you? If you are anywhere in any of the missions that Sterling lived, I think we might be tempted to fly all the way over there just to visit you!!

Hi Nate and Vanessa!!! I found your blog off of Eden's...and I love it! So you are now in the Phillipines?!?!? How's that working for ya? Do you guys hear out of Jon and Laura much? We do, unfortunately. If the phone rings after 9 it's usually Jon and he's bored. Well, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your blog. You can check out mine (if you want) www.ambercrombie02.blogspot.com
Later!

Yay, that is pretty stinkin crazy. Love the recap. It probably was a blessing that it was only a 2 hour difference. Even if the travel time was ridiculous. ;)
