I love my husband

Good news: The FedEx tracking site says that our Visas are on their way back to us. Looks like they will be in our hands on Wednesday.

Bad news: No home study agency letter. I phoned the Stark County Court House, and they were about to put the letter into "regular" mail to us. It's the classic "he said she said" -- the home study agency says that "the clerk of courts has had it since Monday and should have sent it to you for arrival today", and the Clerk of Courts says, "it just arrived today." I said, "hold it at the court house."

This is where my husband comes in. Glenn is going to drive on Wednesday from Cincinnati to Canton (roughly 3.5 hours) to pick up the letter, and then swing through Columbus on the way back home to have all of the remaining docs apostilled.

It's hard for even me to believe, but by the end of the day Wednesday, we may actually have all of the paperwork we need in order to travel by Friday.

Now, it's time to start actually putting things into suitcases. And, likely, taking things back out of those said suitcases as I fear we may be slightly overzealous with our accoutrements. It may be nothing more than wishful thinking that one can take two seasons worth of clothes AND a case of granola bars. We'll let you know what we discover to be reality.
