The Bird is the Word....

So, we're moving! As most of our readers (all 5 of you!) know, we're off to Cyprus in 1 month! AHHHH! Talk about a crazy life huh? Of course we're super excited but a little overwhelmed at the same time. Lots to do and prepare before we make the huge leap from the sunny west coast all the way to 80 miles west of Syria. Yea.

This is where we're going!!!!!



Needless to say we're up for a climate change, as well as some culture shock! Here are some quick facts about our new home!
1. There is a UN buffer zone. That is because the top 1/3 of the island is under Turkish rule and the bottom 2/3 is part of the EU, it is considered Greek.
2. At one point or another, it was under Roman control and it was a British colony, hence lots of Brits going on holiday there. However, it is close to Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Africa so there is quite the mixture of people living and traveling there.
3. They drive on the wrong side of the road. Good thing Matt just spent over a month in Okinawa where they drive on that side, so he has practice now! He's worried about me-I want to get a scooter!!
4. It gets hot! 100 degrees plus humidity!!! Good thing it's right on the sea!!
5. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! See.....







Jealous yet?
So needless to say, life just got crazy! By the time we get there I may look like this....



Please pray for my sanity.
