After our initial recovery from the bad news from the Consulate, the decisions felt so huge and so many. But, here we are, significantly feeling all our prayer support, decisions made.
Drum roll please...
~ One more sleep in our beds.
~ Then off to deliver the kids to "the farm" (my parents) to experience the last of harvest season.
~ Then Emery and I will finish packing up the house and moving over to join his parents in Mitchell, who have graciously solved our homeless non-issue.
~ We'll eventually get our kids back in time to start school - not Homeschool!
Braden will return to SCHS. Macy will join him at SCHS for the first time for Grade 5. We're hoping just a short trial of private school will help her and us make the decision later on whether she will go to SCHS for Grade 6 or 7 or maybe 10. And Rayna is thrilled to be able to join some cousins and friends at Mitchell Elementary School.
We all feel complete peace about these decisions. I think the kids will do well to be in routine and social circles for at least another month. They are all starting a new adventure and can hardly wait for school to start.
As for Emery and me ~ since birdwatching, soap-watching, or just about any other kinds of watching haven't been a big part of our lives up to this point, we think we might do better getting some building projects or volunteering done for other people. (Ah-ha! I can just hear the rush to the Suggestion Box/Odd Jobs List - that's good!!)
God provided another little shot of encouragement in the visa department. Isabelle, from Bethel in Spain, may have found a way to track our papers. She is going to try to find out where our visas are at in Madrid this week. From Madrid, our papers are sent to the local area where we will be living. Our reports of the speed at which that local office works is encouraging.
Okay, off to scrub and pack some more! I guess this was my siesta time.
