WE'VE GOT TICKETS!!!

Yes, you read that correctly.  We finally have our return tickets to New Zealand!  We will be departing from St. Louis late in the afternoon on January 28, 2009.  When that day comes it will have been 2 years, 1 month, and 18 days since we came back to the States.  It has been a long wait as we've been raising support for the work we'll be doing in Auckland and we have a bit of a wait left, but we are thankful that we finally have a return date on the calendar.  There are a lot of things that need to take place before we fly out like getting our visas, raising the remaining 9% of our support, and Brooke needs to give birth to our child (so just a few minor things you know).  While these major things still need to take place the fact that we finally have tickets and a firm return date is cause for much rejoicing and celebration in the Scott household.
