Count Down Super Speed

Yesterday, our case worker called and explained that our Embassy appointment was moved up a week (eight days actually).  Hooorayyy!!!!  This means we will be leaving on the 5th of March.  Less than two weeks away.  I am so excited and soo nervous.  This gives our agency one less week to get the paperwork in order.  I am not usually skeptical, but if I have learned anything through this process it's to not get to excited until it is official.  So we wait with baited breath.  Are we leaving in two weeks or five?  Oh please don't be five.  I am so ready to have them home.

Moving our travel to the week ahead worked out for us.  The Guest house we are staying at was booked so the upgraded us to a suite for free.  We now have our own kitchen and living area while we are in country.  Plus the airfare is thirteen dollars cheaper per person.  And we get to stay one extra day.  So we  really hope this is our travel day.

Today was another work day around the Crain household.  Here is the list of accomplishments:
- Finish closet to home office conversion
- Deep clean master bedroom (under the bed and everything)
- Fill prescription for travel meds
- File taxes
- Take care of ticket (we don't even own the car anymore)
- Wash all of the kids clothing
- Make a list of things to buy for the trip
- Miscellaneous shopping
- Print and hang some of the boys pictures.


There is much more to do but it feels good to be moving forward.  Please continue to pray for efficiency and hopefully we will be in Ethiopia in two weeks.
