So in the meantime... Happy Thanksgiving!

We continue to wait for our new appointment date.  We think that sometime this coming week would be the perfect time to find out just what that date is, but alas it is out of our control...

So in the meantime we find ourselves preparing, I mean lots of preparing!

And in between, life as usual...

But wait,
What we must not forget to do throughout these days is to be "Thankful", for there is no doubt that our list of things to be thankful for far outweighs our list of things to do.
We would imagine yours is too.

"In everything give thanks..." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

  1. Passports!
    You might want to give photocopies of the passports and credit cards to someone you trust here, in the US. Just in case they get lost or stolen! Or it would be a nightmare!
