Hi Everyone --

Time is passing by and it's getting closer to our time to be in the US. We are excited!

We are getting things ready for our trip. We will be staying in the Country Inns and Suites in Cedar Falls. Waterloo was full, so we'll try this out for a change. We also got a route change for our cruise. We won't be going to Mexico (again), we are scheduled to stop at Key West, Florida now. There goes our chance to see some Mayan ruins for the second time! We are still unsure if Doug will be coming with us on the 16th. His boss thinks he needs to stay another 4 days in India to accomplish more before he leaves. Maybe we'll find out this week . . . .

We have had a couple of lizards in the house this week -- they were just babies, but they are still rather frightening. Mostly we smack them with the fly swatter and stun them then put them in the dustpan and throw them outside. They either recover and run away, or the birds eat them. We're not sure which.

Hannah has finished all her exams except 2. Math should come this week and she is about ready to take that. Interior design will have to wait until after we get back. She still has some portfolio work to do. BYU has also received all the other exams and has recorded them, so that is a good thing.

This is our last week of seminary, and we will be done with the New Testament. Hannah has finished 3 years!

The fridge is nearly cleared out. We're nearly packed -- at least the treasure bag is packed. Hannah is 1/2 packed -- you know that's serious!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Love, Lucinda
