Happy February!

I keep waiting to take some photos to post but that has not happened..obviously. Life has been a little crazy since Christmas. On New Year's eve and day Ryan interviewed with Robert Workman. He was hired as COO of Provo craft's humanitarian organization and has just returned from his first trip to the Congo.

Check out the exciting life that he lives now!
His trip was amazing and he was impacted by the living conditions and orphans and everything he saw. He looks forward to going back and wants to take the whole family this summer to live and work. Does anyone want to come with us? They will be building a larger orphanage and I guess we will help with that. They are located not far from Kinshasha where there are 60,000 orphans living on the streets. They take care of 30 kids and want to increase that.
Since Ryan is working from Spanish Fork week we needed a 2nd car so he picked one up..he won't let me drive it though! www.dodge.com/en/2008/magnum/gallery/
We thought that this year would bring lots of change. we knew we would be moving...but not back to Utah county, we were looking forward to having Ryan come home...but didn't want to send him off again so soon, we knew that we would work internationally...but...AFRICA!!!!!!!
I guess that I should the advice from Dan in Real Life, Expect to be surprised.
We were wondering if we could get people together for a reunion at the Tifie ranch this summer. This means both the Palmers and the Shepherds... but not at the same time!!! http://www.tifie.org/tifie_ranch.html
Just leave a note or call if you are interested.
