Greetings!

Greetings to our family and friends!  As most of you already know, David got accepted to medical school at St. George's University on the Caribbean island of Grenada, West Indies, and I've created this blog to help keep everyone up-to-date with our adventures over the next couple of years...and what an adventure I'm sure it's going to be!  One thing's for certain...we're not your "ordinary" Smiths anymore!  ;-)

Right now, we're busy packing and getting our house in Ft. Worth ready to go on the market.  We've started the countdown to the big move, and we're all pretty excited...less than two months to go!  Jordan is a little sad to be leaving her friends--as any 12-year-old would be--but she's looking forward to making new friends on the island--both human and animal (she's already talking about having a pet monkey named "Agent Bananas"--haha!).  With her passion for the ocean and her dream of becoming a marine biologist, what better way to immerse herself in it than living right smack in the middle of it all, right? :-)  I'm looking forward to developing a different and even stronger bond with Jordan, as I'll be homeschooling her and working right alongside her on many ocean and animal conservation projects.  I look forward to posting stories and pictures for you all!

Of course, Jordan and I are so excited for David, and we're going to love and support him in any way we can.  Go get 'em, David--you're going to be a wonderful, amazing doctor, and we're so proud of you!
