We now live ...

... in Turkey.

Much more to come when I am not so overcome by jetlag. But for now I'll tell you that we left at 10pm last night and arrived in Turkey at about 8pm Turkey time today (Thursday.)

We met our sponsors and friends Nick and Kristy outside of customs. They have us settled in our TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility). They had stacked us up with food for all of us (including Scrubs.)

We are hopeful that the boys will sleep this evening and that we will be able to flip our sleep quickly.

Tomorrow we will go investigate housing, the post office, gate passes, and a variety of other items.

But tonight we are going to go to sleep while the boys are in bed.

We're here!

So happy that the flight is behind you. We just picked up our sponsees from the airport today too. I don't know what is is about the 28th that makes it a good PCS day. Maybe, so that you have one "work day" to do some in-processing. I'm excited that you are closer to my time zone!

Praying the boys get on the new time soon, and all the administrivia goes well.

Love,
Jenny
