Hello all!!
Well, we made it to Santiago, and finally got our Internet turned on!
I don't have much time right now to tell you all our news and stories - I promise to do that later. Because we have some seriously good ones.
For a quick rundown: the house is nice, and we like our neighbors next door (Marine family from the Embassy), the grocery stores are great - we can find ALOT of American stuff here but we just have to pay through the nose for it, Abby started preschool and is doing well I think, and Joel is working his tail off at his job.
Right now I've got laundry running, the dishwasher has to be unloaded and the kitchen cleaned up. Our housekeeper (they call them nanas here) starts tomorrow morning at 8am, I have maintenance people from the embassy coming first thing to move the furniture around and take what we don't want, and then the first of our shipments of stuff arrive for us to unpack. Don't worry, we have about three more different shipments coming, so we get to spread all this fun out over the next several weeks at least.
Oh, and both girls are sleeping at the same time at the moment, so I've got to run around doing my chores as quickly as I can. This doesn't happen very often in our house! But I at least wanted to let you all know we made it here safely.
Talk to you all soon!
Love,
Julie, Joel, Abby, and Lily

Glad to hear you made it! Sounds like you're busy setting up life there. We all miss you here in Croatia!
So glad to get the update and that you have made it! Let us know how the new church is in Santiago, when you find one.
