Update on where we are now

Hello friends! I hope to have up within the next few days some statistics from our trip like mileage and amount of money raised. I'm compiling that right now. But I thought it was time we let everyone know where we are at now and what we are doing post-bike trip!

Matthew and I moved up to Lawrence, Kansas in the middle of December, and we're both enjoying it immensely. Matthew is taking some classes at a local college and working full time at a community mental health center, and I am taking an art class at the local community arts center and looking for (another) job. I'm certified to substitute teach in the public school system here, but I haven't gotten called yet, so I continue to look for other work. I will also be completing an internship in mediation and conflict resolution for my state certification this spring.

We've been lucky to get visits from a number of family members and friends since we moved here, and look forward to some more this month. If ever you find yourself in Lawrence, we'd love to have you!
