New travel arrangements

Well i am so excited that I may get to travel to ethiopia as well. We originally were just going to send Frank then we got an offer that just seems like divine intervention. Its hard because we really need someone to run our household. I have a geriatric dog on lots of meds and my mom always watches her even with her allergies. But my Moms immune systen these last few months have taken a turn and she is heartbrokn but her skin just cannnot do 1 week with our Brittney spaniel. Her skin is all red and blistery and hives it is very painful and uncomfortable for her. The Poodle is a hypoallergenic dog but thats not right to do to her either. Well most would say put them in a kennel. But it is hard due to my Spaniels med regimen and bad heart I'm afraid something would happen to her. Then there is also our 2 year old Lilly. We can afford to take her as well but I'm not looking forward to 15 plus hour flights with 2, 2 year olds either. But then steps in my blessed step son and his girlfriend Tracie. We are busting with pride cause Tracie had her interview for medical school last Friday and it looks very promising for her. They even ran into one of the interviewers at the hotel lobby the next morning and he recommended some books for reading for over the summer so she can get prepared for fall. Is that a good sign or what? We are thrilled she will be starting her dream to become a physician as well. And if she gets in she will be quitting her job very soon as a Unit secretary in a local hospital to start some studies and relax a little. She has offered to stay at our home and manage the dogs, and take care of the Girls too. This is great for us and we are excited to take her up on this offer too. Just keeping our fingers crossed she gets in to Medical school. She'll know on Tuesday.
