Things are Moving Forward!

                           So hard to say goodbye to all the cousins~ This is just one side!

We have received our invitation letter!

So now it is time to apply for the visa process in hopes that we do not have to drive to LA to start it. We are also buying our tickets this week.  Today we just finished everyone’s immunizations, and 5 out of 8 bags are packed! We just have a few things left to sell and just about every drawer in the house is emptied out.

We have about 2 ½ weeks left here on the Central Coast and time is going by so fast. Some days we feel like things are going well and things are getting done, other days it feels overwhelming. Overall we are still so excited for our next adventure and can’t wait to go.  It is just hard leading up to the day of departure and the goodbyes and emotions that come with it.  

Alleyah seems to be fine with moving, but I do not think she understands the time frame of when we will see family and friends again. I hope when she does understand, the Internet will come in handy for her little relationships.  She is still looking to forward to having our first pet when we get there. We will get a kitten and she already wants to name it Figaro (from Pinocchio).  Noah is just at the age that seems like nothing affects him yet. He is just happy to have big sitter there to play with him.  So I think he will do just fine.

We will let everyone know when we receive the passports with the official visa in it. Keep us in mind as we move forward.

Thanks for all your thoughts!
