Wow...talk about a roller coaster of a day! Karla from lifeline had called us last night to let us know we weren't able to secure the consulate appointment and that we most likely wouldn't leave for another week or so! She did say that there was a slim chance we could still go....if someone cancelled! Well after being so bummed...the phone rang this morning....the lord answered our prayers! We had an appointment and we would be able to travel as planned! I had to drive to Augusta today to have our POA certified since Ed will be traveling later with Evan. We are so so excited and very busy getting packed but also getting ready for Christmas! We will arrive home on Christmas eve! I think this will be a Christmas to remember!
