My cute parents are moving! To...
My dad's boss presented this job opportunity to him on April Fool's Day! But this is no joke- for sure!
The church farm they'll be living on is outlined in red on this Google Earth map. It's about an hour and 10 minutes from Santiago, 20 miles from the coast.
Lots to do for them to get ready such as storing furniture, getting passports renewed, Visas, and finding someone to lease their 2011 Sonata to. (They JUST bought that car... terrible timing)
I know this will be such an adventure for them! I'm excited and sad all at the same time. Sad they'll miss seeing my kids as often. I guess we'll have to Skype a lot! They will be there at least 2 years, maybe 3. Luckily, the company will fly them home once a year. They'll have a guest house for visitors, if anyone's interested. ;)
They're going to take a trip to look things over at the end of the month and will be down there to stay by the end of July!!

I am just so happy that they came down and spent a few hours with me when Emily's fam was here. So glad I got to spend a little concentrated time with them before they are whisked off to foreign lands! Bad, bad timing with the car, though. :(
Surprise!!! I shoulda thought about doing a post like this. Maybe I will copy you ;)
Wow! That is exciting!
TOTAL surprise! That's SO exciting! WE can miss our mommy's together. :( They will be so great though! Way to go Thompson Parental Units!
That is exciting and scary. What a great opportunity for them to learn about another culture and for you guys too!
that is CRAZY! i hope you guys will be able to visit :)
WOW Laura! That is exciting and very far away! Ricky served his mission in Concepcion and it was beautiful. What a great experience. I hope you are able to make a visit to them while they are away. That would be awesome. Love you!
I guess you will just have to take a trip:)
that is very exciting. You guys will have to take a trip out there to see them and see the beautiful parts of where they will be living.
How cool! Dave works with your sister at the dating website place, and she had mentioned that your parents might move there. They do such a great job!
