So, it's time I keep this blog updated. D received a Fulbright grant to study in Poland and finish his doctoral dissertation. There weren't enough funds for our family of 5 to go without getting into more debt-not to mention D wouldn't be able to get a job there due to strict Fulbright rules. After a lot of prayers, we decided it'd be best for the kids and I to stay with family in Utah while D is in Poland for 7 months. D has only been gone 11 days and so far we're surviving. Everyone is so helpful! I will be updating with photos of the family often. Check out D's blog at douglaspewpoland.blogspot.com.

Wow, that's a long time to be separated. That's probably going to be difficult. But that's such a great opportunity. I know what it feels like to make short-term sacrifices (that feel like forever long) to gain long-term rewards. I hope the time goes by quickly!
Your family is probably excited to see you though. :)
When did your kids get so BIG? Crazytown!
I know it makes sense for you guys, but 7 months is a LONG time. J and I were separated for 40 days this summer and it felt like for-ev-er.
I'm hoping we can make a trip to see you while you're close.
PS did you know Mark and Crystal live in Provo now? They're right down the street from Nie Nie!
How exciting! Good luck, i am sure it will be a long 7 months with out your hubby:( Your kids are soooo big, it is unbelievable!
