An interesting idea...

So Curtis and I were talking, and he mentioned that many couples in the military, when one of them goes on deployment, they put their stuff in storage and the one staying home goes to live with friends or family for a while. And that got me thinking that maybe while Curtis is in Iraq this time, I could go volunteer in a children's home again. I've been looking up children's homes online, and I found that there are many, many homes that accept volunteers- some in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Honduras.

So I've been sending e-mails out, and the first place that responded was the place I was the most interested in. It's called the Casa de Amor. (www.casadeamor.org) It's in Cochabamba Bolivia. They only take little kids, mostly babies, but also some 3 to 10 years old. The place seems really cool, and there are several families from the States involved in running the place, and the lady who responded to my email was very nice! To quote she said "I cried when I read your email! How precious - to give us your time while your husband is serving in Iraq!".

So I'm kindof getting excited about this idea, and I'm planning it all out how it would work, financially and otherwise. And I've been studying my Spanish, just in case- well it's nice to have something to obsess about at any rate.

But check out this photo I pulled off their blog:


Doesn't that look so fun?!!!
