Summer & IHOP

We just wanted to give everyone an update. For those of you who don’t know, we have made the decision to go to Kansas City (KC) . Jeff was accepted to the summer intro to IHOP internship, and the dates are late June through September. We originally thought it would be May through August, but the dates have changed.
We are raising support now, and are at $1,100. This is enough for the $900 internship fee, which we will be sending off soon. We still need about $14,000 to cover our living expenses out there and our bills at home. We have a few leads on houses to rent in KC (ranging from $750-$1,000 a month including utilities), and we are trying to figure out if we can rent our house out to anyone for the time we are gone, so that amount may go down a good bit.
Jeff has let his work know that he will be gone for 4 months, and we are in process of figuring out what exactly that will mean (specifically with our insurance).

Also, Jeff is planning on traveling some with Beau/Lone Sheep before he has to officially start his internship. We plan to move out to KC in early June, so that he can meet up with Beau for the shows and festivals in the midwest. Jeff is looking forward to traveling and he is hoping to build on relationships he made in the fall.

We are also planning on using some of the time in June to acclimate our family to IHOP life, a new house, hopefully friends, etc.
