East Timor, Louisiana
B- A few days ago, Travis' mom went to take our wedding announcement info to the newspaper. One question they ask is "where will the couple be living?" She said, "East Timor." The newspaper lady asked, "Is that in Louisiana?" Ha.
Things are well. Please be patient as obviously Travis is still trying to figure out the photo programs. Each time I look at the page there is another of the same photo of us.
Travis has now purchased his backpack! He got the REI Mars (mine is the Venus...they're identical except his is bigger and a different color...how cute) and luckily there was a 20% online discount for members. This means we purchased both of our backpacks at a 20% discount (mine was b/c we became members at the REI store). Men wear the Mars, Women wear the Venus...
There is a great, yet un-updated, volunteer website at www.fjac.com/timor. Lots of photos and lots to read. Check out the volunteer newsletter if you can find the link. It seems that as hard as life is in East Timor, the volunteers aim to have fun, and that's what makes it bearable. This is a tough committment, and Travis and I are talking about ways to make it through.
One way is our creed, which we have yet to write...but it will be motivational and funny and we will be required to recite it to each other in the tough times. We will be sure to post it once it's written.
The PCV that we have emailed with in East Timor has informed us that they did not feel the big earthquake the other day. If you visit http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/ you can view the earthquakes that have occured worldwide over the past week. A few small ones have taken place in ET's vicinity. I think it will be neat to feel an earthquake...I just hope it's not a big one.
I suppose that's it...stay tuned for more exciting posts from me and more of the same pictures from Travis!

That reminds me of when Ron (Bekah's Dad) was applying for a job at LSU. We were living in Texas at the time. He needed a photo to attach to his application, so he went to a passport photo place. The guy asked where he was going (thinking Ron was getting a passport to travel abroad, of course.) Ron's response, of course, was "Louisiana."
