Scared Straight

This picture is a great visual of exactly how we are feeling (And as Special Educators we're into visuals!!!). One week in counting and our visa's are not in yet... which means that our passports and other important documents are somewhere in LA. To make matters worse, I lost my wallet this week so we are dealing with cancelling and reordering cards + my drivers liscence! We are not packed and have not been able to get motivated to begin this overwhelming task. I guess, if we start packing, then that means that we really are going... and if we really are going then we really are leaving our parents... and I'm having a very hard time dealing with that! We experience moments of excitement but at the moment Brad and I are mostly feeling anxious, sad about leaving our families and friends, and overwhelmed at the list of tasks at hand. We could definately use your prayers in this next week as we prepare to leave.

I think I can grasp a bit of what you're feeling! I'm glad we get to go through the same adventure with you guys! We set up a blog also. It's appelfam.blogspot.com. We are both so excited to adventure with you two. Mama Mia and Portabella market here we come!!!

It's all good, yo. You're not going to the Congo or heart of the Amazon, so at least you don't have to get all sorts of vaccinations.

I'm looking up plane tickets... Can't wait! - EH

Right about now we look about the same!! Hope we get a visit either in Albania or some other "hot" spot.
Many blessings keep us posted and send us your cell # when you're set up.
