Well the first phase of our trip begins tomorrow morning when we board our plane to travel to Trinidad & Tobago for a little island adventure before we get to work in Guyana. As you may or may not know we were delayed leaving to Guyana because of "issues with the upcoming general elections." This was very disappointing as our original August 5th leave date was postponed until October 10th. Many of you might wonder why you attended a going away party for us over a month ago but we didn't see a reason to cancel a good party. We have certainly found a bright side though, and will be spending a month on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. We will make sure to post good pictures and stories of this trip over the next few weeks.
But for this post were saying goodbye, to family, friends, and co-workers who we will all miss beyond words. Tomorrow morning we will close one huge chapter of our lives and open a new and exciting one. We look forward to staying in touch with everyone and sharing stories back and forth through this blog, e-mail, and if available the random phone call.
I think you should be able to post comments and replies to these postings, if not I will work out the kinks at some point.
Please help us stay in touch with your lives as we share ours. Here are a couple pics of our last night.
Miss You Already,
Jessa and Blake

Hi guys!! Hope you had a good flight yesterday. Miss you already!
Ok Jessa, after I got off the phone with you I cried so hard and than had to call my mom and josh for support. Clearly, I miss you both so much already.
Have the most wonderful time and take care of yourself and each other.
with love,
Courtney
We send you our blessings for a safe adventure and applaud you for trying to make the world a more peaceful place. We can't wait to have a party in two years - just think Jessie and Bri Bri will be teenagers (yikes!) Come home safe.
Much love and respect,
The Grooms Family
Hi Blake, I can't believe that you are going to Africa, thats so cool. I thought going to college was going to be the most exciting thing in my life. Stay safe... you're in my thoughts.
Love Your Cousin,

Hey Min and Blake too!
I agree with everyone! Had a lot of trouble getting onto the blog at work, no trouble here at home with Rachel's help! I do miss you already; then today and tomorrow! The world there sounds so beautiful though and your telling of the surroundings is wonderful! Wish I was there! Love, Momma
Jessa and Blake,
Glad to see things are well with you. It was 5 degrees when I got up this morning with more snow to clear. Was 14 below 3 days ago so winters are hard. It would a nice thought just to join you for Christmas.
Bless you both
I Love You
