jen hey cuz, sounds like you had a wonderful time in columbia. glad you made it there and back safe. how long before you head back home? we decided to head north to dehra dun for our remaining 5 weeks, wanted to get away from the people, noise, and pollution. our first week is at this little "resort" in rishikesh, at the base of the himalayas. yoga in the am, afternoon lectures, clinicals, and meditation classes... i couldnt hardly call it work. its beautiful up here and were trying to plan a hiking trip through some of the mountains. take care jen

mom Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you are catching up on your sleep!!! Have some fun today! And celebrate with the family! The pictures are wonderful that you have! I hope that you have a great 30th birthday! Hope to celebrate when you get home! LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Dad Hey tehere!! Well, How is Columbia??I must admit my initial thoughts were not great as far as Columbia goes. So, I(we) did a a little searching on the net and Columbia is a beautiful country. Ya know, I could probably learn the language and then see if there is any need for Home repair techs. Ya, I could get used to Columbia that is if the pics I saw are a good representation. I talked with Scooter and he is going to stay with us for a day before he leaves for Alaka with Josh Gutzwiller. I will take him to Sea-Tac on Thursday the 9th at about 4:30AM. I think I will take Friday off and take Debi up tp Squim to see the Lavender Farms. Work has been getting better with the two new guys and I no longer have to do the Pager/on call duty! YAHOO!!!!! Well I better cut this short, But I need to say one more thing..........Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY while you are in Columbia. Sure wish you were here to celebrate it with us, Oh well, We will get together when you get home and you can tell us all about life south of the Equator! God Bless, All our love! Dad & Debi

Carmen Hi Aaron! Keep those journal entries coming... Can't wait to hear all about Colombia and all the fun stuff I'm missing. :( I just got back from Puerto Rico a few days ago . We had a wonderful time. Mom and dad just spoiled us! The kids had a great time and they have LOTS of stories to tell you! They miss you. We didn't rest much but I'm not complaining. It sounds like you haven't either. Enjoy this awesome experience in Colombia!

CJ Hi you, Just wanted to send a BIG HI from home and Cory and I So you made it to Columbia...and safe without any problems (better luck then Jens first day!) Back to work...poor you, Cory said he wishes traveling around the world could be his work too...BUT only if the fishing is good! (go figure). Big news on our end...THE @*&$% FENCE IS DONE!!!! We finished last night. Now onto laying sod on the other half of the yard (it will never end). I think the goal is to get this done this week and weekend, because on Monday Cory heads-off to the doctors and hopefully we will have a surgery date. Just because I know you were missing them (Not) Kallie and Lily are good too. We got them a kiddy pool and now all they want to do is play in the water...well actually Kallie wants to play and Lily wants to just lay in it! I wish I had more family info, but I haven't seen Grandma in a while, so sorry. We are thinking of you... Have fun and keep us posted. Love, The Kamphaus Family

Becky Hi Aaron, Carmen is back from Puerto Rico and told me about your site. It's been fun reading through your adventures from the month of July!! For some reason I thought you were teaching first and going to Mexico second, but you did it my favorite way - play first and work later! I look forward to hearing about the teaching you will be doing. I am still slaving away on CBAs Ha!
