It looks like it has finally happened, there was a serious space collision on Tuesday. Apparently two satellites crashed and have spread 10,000 pieces of space junk in orbit... According to the serious math guys the two satellites hit each other at something like 42,000 miles per hour. I have no idea what 42,000 miles per hour is! I like the idea of space junk, not sure why but there is something reassuring about the idea that there is a layer of junk protecting us from some sort of alien attack, "no we can't mess with the earthlings they have a protective shield of high velocity death chunks whizzing at over 42,000 miles per hour... better go mess with another planet."

Your gonna move where?
Hello, We are moving to Honduras! It is six months away and we are already selling our stuff! We are going to be working at a private school in the capital called Tegucigalpa.
This whole thing came about one afternoon when Jennie met some friends who had been educators in Costa Rica, they loved it and needless to say we were excited and wanted to learn more. I liked the idea but I was pretty skeptical. I was just doubtful that we would find a school that met our needs and would have jobs for both of us... I guess I was sort of the nay sayer.
Well Jennie wrote a dream list, with the types of things that we wanted. Then she put the list up in our bedroom. I have never been an advocate of this type of planning, but I have to say that it was the list that actually ended up confirming that this move was right for us. In some way each item from the list was present in our lives when we made the decision to move to Tegucigalpa.

This blog will be a source of information of our friends and family who want to keep up with our family adventure in Tegucigalpa. Our plan is to post information about what it is like for us to move to Honduras. Thank you for checking out our blog and we hope that you like following up on how we are doing in this next part of our lives.
