We now have plane tickets in our hands for the arduous journey from Teresina to Portland, Oregon! That is important, but some of you have known that for awhile.
What is more important is that we now have confirmation that the visa has been given the official stamp of approval! This means that we can leave on our flight as scheduled—provided the courier does their job in a timely manner. As you may recall, Patrick and Nyna had to delay their trip home because the courier took forever to deliver the package.
As long as the visa gets here, and all the flights are on time, we should be in Portland, Oregon on the 22nd of April at 2:30 PM. After about 26.5 hours of planes and airports we might even have enough energy to say, "Hi!" (And maybe someone can tell me whether or not I actually have an accent in English!)
So, so good! I'll be praying for a safe journey for your family. I would love to see your parents holding your daughter!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Senseless! After all that time, it sure seemed to happen all so fast! I guess we'll be seeing you rather soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat news!
ReplyDeleteSo maybe I'm clueless...but are you actually moving to Portland now, or is this just a visit?
Wow! PTL! ;) :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Lord! It has been a long wait, but then, that makes it all the more worthwhile!
I am looking forward to seeing all kinds of people, Katie, you included (I might even have to visit your church just to meet that doughnut guy you mentioned on your blog.)
ReplyDeletePhil, I am looking forward to seeing you as well. It has not felt so fast to me, but I can see why it would to you. :)
Sarah, yes, we are moving to Portland. I don't know for sure if we will remain there, as I must find a job, and that may take us elsewhere.
Dad, see you soon. :D
See you all soon. I will be praying for safe, uneventful travels.
ReplyDeleteHey, you guys need to make a trip to Sacramento at some point! We will have a guest room ready and waiting for you (and a pool in the backyard if you come when the weather's nice enough)!
ReplyDeleteHope you all made it safely to Portland!
Hi all, we made it. There were a few near misses, and plenty of drama. But no permanent trauma.
ReplyDeleteA pool and warmer weather sound good right now, Sarah. :) We will have to arrange a visit sometime.
Brooke, It will be good to see you again. I know Nadya is looking forward to it. :)
More to come soon(ish).
