Ongoing Adjustments!

From the Curt Brannons:

It's hard to believe that we've been back "home" in the states for 4 months. It's been an ongoing adjustment as we settle in and get a household functioning again on this side of the water. We're in Madison and really enjoying this neat little city. Our townhouse is not far from Curt's office and just down the street from Meredith's high school--Bob Jones High School. Shay's sister and family and Shay's parents also live in Madison so that's been fun to be closer to family.

Olivia has been in Chicago for about a month at Moody Bible Institute and is really enjoying her time there. She's had some health challenges with a damaged nerve located behind her knee that's causing her to walk slowly and carefully. Currently, she's seeing a physical therapist and is working on building strength in her leg and foot around that damaged nerve. We'll keep you updated on her progress. The doctor is not sure how this damage could have happened but it might have happened in her sleep. By the way, Olivia also maintains a blog. If you're interested in seeing it, the address is www.thinkingclearly.wordpress.com

Our current plans are to stay in the states for at least the next year. With Meredith in 10th grade and in public school for the first time, we're adjusting to her schedule and the different requirements for her. So, we feel like we're here for at least the school year and for Olivia's first year in college.

We love the idea of this blog! Looking forward to seeing the postings of you all. We'll try to keep up with our end of the bargain and post regularly. :)
