Nope... actually there is no memorial day here... there is a day of the dead... but I think that's different and we generally don't think hanging out and partying at graveyards is much fun... So... anyway... over the weekend we headed to Kihan to test out Kevin's truck (a friend from Fire Team Intl) and to take some measurements for some cabinets and a sink for upstairs in the clinic... The truck did amazing! We were so happy because our rig is slightly bigger than theirs and we weren't sure if it was going to work... but now we know it will! So... a couple more weeks and our jeep will be ready! It couldn't be done sooner for us... the trips to Kihan are getting closer and closer together and the logistics of all that travel... well... it's a 5 hour trip... and it gets a bit tiring! Now we should be able to cut at least an hour off the trip having engine power and not having to stop at the river and change vehicles or what not!
I am continuing to work.. studying a bit for the final (which is in a couple weeks), working on the animals, writing lots of lists... pricing, etc.... Joe has been up to his neck in paperwork as well... the kids grades were due... which thankfully is somewhat easier with this new curriculum... then we are working on obtaining 3 year temporary residents visas... all before I head to the states... which means a miracle needs to take place... :) We totally believe it can and WILL! The 3 year visa will cost us a whopping $5K for our family!!! We're hoping the next country God calls us to is a little cheaper in the visa department! (Our friends in Cambodia pay a measly 50 bucks or some such rubbish!) Anyway.... once obtained we won't have to mess with them again!!! That will be a huge weight off our shoulders considering how far away we live from immigration!
So... if you think of it... say a prayer that it all goes off w/o a hitch!
Well... time for dinner! The kiddos are slightly wiped from our excursion this weekend! (Mom and Dad too!)
We did get a lot accomplished and realized how much more we have to do.... One step at a time....
