Welcome!

Hello to everyone!

I hope this post finds you well. Mary and I are about to depart on our grand adventure. We'll be leaving Boise, Idaho, on the 21st of January to fly to Johannesburg, South Africa. We will be in South Africa for approximately 10 months. During our period there we will be using this blog as a tool for communicating and keeping in touch with all of our friends and family as well as the Rotarians who have so generously given to make the Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship that is supporting me possible. We will be uploading photos and videos of our journey on a regular basis, so check back often. We are very excited to get started. It'll be quite the way to spend the first year of married life. (Oh, for those of you who didn't know, Mary and I were just married, December 28th, 2008. Whoohoo!)

Take care and feel free to leave comments to let us know how your doing.
