Well, we got my leave date and the whole family will be joining me. I am very excited as the thought of leaving all my boys behind for that 3-6 weeks, made me ill. So, it is all working out. Andy has a job interview with MUSCO lighting on Thursday, so we pray they have work for him over there, even if it is part time, its money in the bank for us! Everything is falling into place and the house will soon be rented, I just know it. We will keep updated as things happen and add picks as soon as we get good internet connection. I hear the hotels are expensive for internet, so we will play it all by ear. Thanks again for your continued support and we will update soon. Our flight is Saturday, Aug 14th at 8:30 pm. We will go to the IL City Day parade in the morning, eat lunch with family, take Ry to a b-day party for one hour while we load the car and then off to Chicago at 2pm. We are still unsure how we are getting there as we sold our trailblazer and we will have at least 10 suitcases! Mom and dad thought we could use Andys dads camper or borrow one and we could all ride together and the suitcases could ride on the bed in the back. Its a swell idea for all of us to travel together. We will see what happens. You all take care and see you soon from Abu Dhabi! Cant wait to share pics!

~Love Abby and boys!(Andy is one of the boys too!)
