Intro!

So, I thought it would be a good idea for Matthew and I to set up a blog that we could use to tell people what is going on with us as we get ready to get married and go to Russia, and also while we are there!

He probably is not as jazzed about this as I am but he agreed to go along with it. ;)

So as of right now, we were confirmed to go to the International Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia in mid July (ish) of 2010. We are working on applying to WP (who we would go through) and are going to meet with someone from WP this Friday!

We also got a chance to talk to John and Deb Seigel on Saturday since they are in the States. They have been and are working at International Academy and it was cool to be able to talk to them about it. They had pictures and awesome advice and encouragement for us, and Matthew found someone to talk to about teaching (maybe, not sure yet) history.

So good news and good beginning!
