Immunizations, Support, and Babies, OH MY!!!

Not OUR babies though... in family news, Laura's oldest sister had her first baby which, incidentally, was the first Wright family grandchild. Though, due to a week delay in the birth, I have not had the chance to see her, Laura was able to stop by and see her new niece! Congratulations to Daniel and Sarah Clark on their new baby (our new niece) Skyler Renee Clark!

Also, a week ago, Laura and I found ourselves at the Guilford County Health Department getting our pre-trip vaccinations. Laura (the health-insurance-having guru she is) did not need much. If memory serves, she only needed an optional Hepatitis A shot. I, on the other hand (with my lack of up-to-date immunizations), had Tetnis in one arm and Hepatitis A & B in the other. We also picked up some diahrrea medicine just in case along with a prescription for Malaria & TB pills -- wowee! I feel like a science experiment!

Many of you have been asking how our support has been going, and the simple answer is "really great!" We are currently at 65% with a little over a month to go. We know a number of you still are planning on supporting us financially, and we'd ask that you do so soon so we can get the paperwork taken care of through the proper channels. Thank you so much to all of you who have already written us letters of support and encouragement -- your words have meant so much to us in this time of transition.

We love you guys SO MUCH!!! Please feel free to email me or Laura anytime, we love being able to connect with you!
