WHAT A WEEK!

֍On Sunday I received our visas. We are now welcomed to enter the beautiful country of New Zealand. I also finally upgraded my wedding ring after 13 yrs of marriage.

֍On Monday I signed the closing papers for the sale of our home and we took the kids to their final dentist appointments. The kids continue their streak of no cavities ever.

֍Worked a 24hr shift on Tuesday

֍Yesterday my final doctor's appointment and a mammogram. The buyers did their final walk through of the house. Last eye appointments for Randy and Makayla

֍Today, our house officially closed. The house is no longer ours. We have arranged to stay in it for a few more weeks. Randy and I did our fingerprinting and received our FBI clearance letters that we'll need for our immigration NZ work visas. Last eye appointments for me, Micah and Kai.

The week has been filled with phone calls and paperwork and running around shopping for things that we need. Honestly, every week for many months has been like this.
