We Hope You Haven't Missed Us Too Much

Hello all! Yes, we are still alive and we hope you haven't missed us too much lately. Things in India were a bit rough and we kind of got into a bit of a funk. Anyways, we write this post alive and well and almost completely out of India! About two weeks ago our computer stopped working. That was the breaking point for me. I opted to leave Jeff and head back to Chicago last Monday. While I was sad to leave Jeff by himself, it felt SO good to finally be back in the US. When we arrived we planned on being in India for just one month, but we were there for four, which led to a severe shortage in our usual entertainment and personal supplies. I am back here restocking, fixing our computer, and recharging my personal battery!

Jeff in the meantime was left in Panipat by himself. When I left we were fairly certain that within two weeks Jeff would be heading straight to Thailand for his next assignment. While his company was confident with the departure date we were still nervous, since our original departure date of February 20th had been pushed back many times. Still, I left him hopefully that he would not be alone too long. On Wednesday we received the fantastic news that Jeff could leave Panipat! He headed to Delhi on Thursday to get his Thai visa processed. If all goes according to plan he should be basking in the Thai sun in just a few short days! As soon as he's squared away in Thailand I will start my visa paperwork and should be joining him in about a week or so. We plan on being in Thailand for at least three months and we couldn't be more excited. For the first time since we were married Jeff will be with a large crew of employees from his company. That means plenty of people to play with on the beautiful Thai beaches. I think it will be a much needed change of pace for us and we can't wait!
