late night

i really should be in bed.
I'm not.
I'm at the computer checking emails and generally procrastinating.
Paul is still in London and is going back to the embassy tomorrow. We are expecting the visas to be ready on Thursday, but you never know, with a little encouragement tomorrow is possible.
I've been packing. 20kg is practically nothing when you are taking your whole life with you. Please pray that either the airline is generous or the scales are faulty when we get there!
please also pray for stamina to get through the next week or so - even once we land, we will be hitting the ground sprinting!
Thanks y'all - your support is helping us keep it together

countdown....

Paul travels to London to visit the embassy today. He will camp out until the visas are in his hand. If this is before Thursday (pray people, pray!) we will confirm flights for Sunday 5th Aug, if it is not, we have another flight lined up for next week.

We are eager to get there, and it seems the finish line
(or start line, depending on how you look at it) is finally in view.

Please pray for:
The visa process to be smooth, quick and hiccup free
The boys - they are doing ok, but they are stressed and very clingy
My (Emily) parents - who are looking after us as we are staying with them
Our families and friends - as we say difficult goodbyes
Our sanity, endurance, a sense of the big picture, patience and wisdom in packing
That the airline will allow us some free excess baggage

There will be an update as soon as there is news.

visas visas everywhere!

Well, our papers arrived by email this morning which is very exciting. The next thing is to get the relevant stamps in the passport from the embassey in London which will hopefully happen early next week.
Watch this space...we're nearly off...
