   As many of you know, I’ve been on the struggle bus. I’ve had the Year of Eight Terrible Things.  Not to dwell, but here’s my year in a nutshell:

   1. Our dog Rooster Died.
   2. I was diagnosed with severe chondral defects in my knee (so painful) and was told I would never run again.
   3. Our Dog Penny Died.
   4. My Cousin Ali Died.
   5. John & I were flattened by flu.
   6. John was in the hospital for a cardiac event.
   7. Our puppy Nutmeg was diagnosed with a terminal birth defect.
   8. I was in the hospital for meningitis.

Meg and Alex live in Denver and will meet us in Quito, and Chad and Shawna will be traveling from Phoenix later on.
