Kampala or Bust

For those of you that haven't heard, we arrived safely in Kampala on June 27th, with everything but our blog information. This is why we haven't posted anything until today. Sorry about the delay.

Our first two weeks have been very full. We have spent a lot of time at the office meeting with some of the ten different staff working in Kampala. We are enjoying them all. They seem to be a very intelligent and thoughtful group.

We were also able to take a three day trip up to meet some of Eric's new partners and to see our future home. The trip was an adventure in itself. I will allow Eric to describe driving here but sufficed to say that there are no rules. I have never seen or imagined anything like it. It truly is insane!!!!! Driving on the left hand side of the road is truly the easy part. We will be happy when we are no longer plagued with Kampala traffic.

Our new home is beautiful. It is far nicer than anything we would have expected. The backyard is fantastic. It is a large fenced in area that includes a wonderful garden, an avocado tree (yum!), three guava trees, and some other beautiful trees and flowers. We are looking forward to moving to Arua and starting our life there.

Right now it looks like we will be in Kampala for at least a couple more weeks. We are living with Eric's boss and his family for the time being. They are a wonderful family. It is good to have some time to get to know them.

It would take a lot to catch you up on everything that has happened so now that we have the blog information, we will do a better job at posting more frequently.

Thank you again for all of your love and support as we prepared for this next phase of our lives.
