Waiting for Word

We are still waiting for word about our finger printing. I have also completed the paperwork on a grant. Just need to send a few things off to them and then we wait to see if we will get that or not. Not sure how long exactly all this will take but we have learned that waiting is just part of this process.

In the mean time, we are doing our best to enjoy the time we have together. Today we had the day off together and went to Salem, Jeremy took some pictures, we got some coffee, went walking at the mall & had dinner at Panera. Now we are about to sit down and enjoy a movie. The wait isn't so bad. : ) We are thankful for all the time we have together.

Finger Printing

We are now officially in the Homeland Security Database. We went to West Virginia this morning for our finger printing. We got up at 4:15am & drove there for our 8 & 9am appointments. We were the first ones there so it was pretty quick. They didn't make me wait until 9. It was a pretty dreary ride - rained the whole time but we are glad to mark one more thing off the list!

Appointment & Other News

We have our homeland security appointment on Tuesday in West Virginia. This is for our finger printing. Please pray for good weather & quick appointments! Thank you!

Today we said goodbye to our dear friends, Chris & Suzie Skinner. They have moved to North Carolina. We had a party for them last night & it was so fun to see all the people who love them so much all come together. We pray that their new life there will be blessed. Jeremy traveled down with them to help... he gets to say goodbye tomorrow. BUT it isn't really goodbye... just see you soon. We will miss the day to day relationship with them though. Love you guys! They have an amazing story... log on to www.chrisskinner.org to read about them.
