i heart skype

Thank heavens for this little miracle called Skype. It makes such a difference to see each other instead of just talking over the phone.
Preachin' to the choir? I thought so.



this is an email I got from him his first day there:

"Just got done with the first day. It went well. Did some cleanings in the morning and some extraction during the afternoon. I was pretty exhausted from going to bed late last night. we go only about 4 hours of sleep. I'm headed to dinner in a little bit here in the hotel.
Anyway, things are pretty crazy here, I can definitely tell I am in a 3rd world country. I did take some pictures FYI. I'm sure you're proud."

I am unable to communicate with him for a few days - which is totally bad news. Apparently there is no internet in the jungles of Dominican Republic...(hmmm, yes i guess that makes sense) So we will just cross our fingers that everything is going ok.

It's great that he's doing this, Katie. I'll keep him in my prayers.

PS. And yes, Brian was there. His fiancee seems like a great girl! He looks happy.

Sounds like he's doing well so far. I'd be the same way you are, a little worried and anxious. but, i'm sure all is well and your man will be home safe and sound before you know it!

What an exciting opportunity! I've always been a little bit jealous of people that get to go on "medical missions." I want to get Skype too. Is it easy to do? And guess what: my lovin' hubby gave me a Canon Rebel for our anniversary!!! *SQUEAL* I'm trying to decipher the instructions, but I'm very excited!

I love your blog! I love how personal you have made it! Also I love this post about skype! My husband and I use it, especially when he flies to the dominican, which can be a couple times a month sometimes. Skype is the icing on my cake when he is not home!

Anyway, I am glad I found your blog. Stay warm tonight with the storm coming, I am down just south of Fairlawn, OH, so I am waiting for it to start to!
