Over the next couple of months we will try to post updates from Peru. For those who haven't heard, Jeff was accepted as an intern at the U.S. embassy in Lima, Peru. We were so excited that Jeff was able to convince me to start a blog.

Our adventure begins with kissing. For the past two months we have been living with Uncle Darren and Aunt Shae's family. We were anxiously awaiting security clearance so that Jeff would be approved to intern at the embassy. If we didn't receive clearance by February 16th, the internship would be canceled and we would be living in Provo until August. Five days before the deadline we hadn't heard a thing and were getting very nervous. For those who know my cousin Zach, they know that he is never one to miss out on a risky venture and loves to turn someone else's vulnerability into his personal gain. He drew up a contract (which Jeff signed) stating that if the clearance came by 11:28 p.m. on 02/13/07, Jeff would have to kiss Zach's feet for a week. Well, Tuesday came and went and we still heard no word, so Jeff thought he was in the clear. However come Wednesday he received an e-mail stating that he received his security clearance ... 7 days earlier! We are pleased to present the first installment of Jeff kissing Zach's feet. Fortunately for Jeff, Zach has been out of town for the past 3 days.
