Work Permit! (we are bad bloggers)

Hey... sorry it's been a bit since our last news filled post.  Life has been a little crazy.

We need to catch everyone up on some news.  The work permit came in on schedule on Friday and I flew home Saturday from Madrid to Dallas.  We had hoped to go to the Spanish Consulate on Monday (today), but it's now going to be Wednesday b/c of some translations that weren't quite complete.  

The schedule is essentially the same.  Apply for the Visa's on Wednesday, get them hopefully by the 11th.  The movers come on the 13th and we fly to Spain on the 15th.  It's crazy, but we essentially have 10 days left in the U.S. of A.  

Key things to pray for:

- more weight to ship things.  We are over the limit and it's big money.  We're trying to both reduce our shipment and negotiate for a greater allotment.  We'll see what happens.

- housing.  We have picked the house, now just need for the lease details and such to wrap up for us to move in on March 1st.  We'll be in a suites hotel for a couple weeks.

- all the little details.  There are many, many of them.  Pray that we'll stay organized and that it'll all wrap up without too much drama or missed details.

- sleep.  Our minds and hands are working overtime.  Pray that we get good rest in the midst of the busyness.  

We appreciate you keeping up with us!  God has a real adventure planned for us these next 2 years.  Come and visit!!
