Expensification...

We have had the pleasure of talking to so many of you over the past few months and it has been exceptionally encouraging. Laura and I cannot express how nice it has been to receive your calls, cards, letters, and emails. We love the chance to connect with you, even if for only a short while, or a quick chat.

I think one of the biggest questions that we have received is about how our finances break down for our trip. So, realizing that we haven't really put it out there, we thought we would give a pretty general breakdown of our expenses budgeted into our support raising for your detail people :)

Support Goal $7500.00

Daily Bills back home - $150
Our College Loans (2 months) - $500
Passport Fees - $250
Mikey's Health Insurance (2 Months) - $400
Transportation other than Plane - $150
Plane Tickets Round Trip - ~$4000
Living Expenses in White River, S. Africa - ~$2000

our living expenses cover out transportation, apartment, and general food needs while we are there. we actually inflated this a little to cover any unforeseen expenses while we are gone.

All of the money we raise outside of what we end up needing, if any, we are going to give to Ten Thousand Homes for their ministry. But regardless, this is a general overview of how our expenses will break down and as always, if you'd like to know more -- ASK!!! We love hearing from you guys :)
