Well it appears that this is really happening. There have been many times in the last week that I've said, "Oh I should blog." But it has been kind of s whirlwind. We also didn't bring a keyboard so everything is being out into the tablet keyboard, so it is a little more time consuming.
Here is a brief outline of the last 6 days of chaos and then I'll try to write detailed posts about each day.
Tuesday July 25 - I got the message that the embassy had requested payment on the twins' visas. This means their article 5 (necessary for meeting day is in motion)
We decide with our Colombian Rep Sara to buy our plane tickets for Thursday.
Wednesday July 26 - I finish up all the paperwork needed for the restaurants. We finish last minute packing. At about 9 pm we leave for Atlanta.
Thursday July 27 - We arrive at the secured lot, leave my car and take a Lyft to the Atlanta airport. We fly Atlanta to Miami at 6 am. Then after a layover and some running through the airport we fly Miasmi to Bogota, Colombia. We are picked up by our driver and taken to our guesthouse. We get some dinner and then sleep. A lot.
Friday July 28 - We find out our Article 5 has been issued so meeting day can be scheduled. We spent a few hours exploring this part of the city on foot.
Saturday July 29 - We visited Cerro de Monserratte. It was incredible!
Sunday July 30 - We were able to live stream church service at The Point Knox! Then we went to explore the Titan Plaza (mall) and are lunch. On our way home we went grocery shopping. We spent the evening preparing for the week ahead.
It's now Monday at 7:00 am and we are praying for our little ones. As long as everything goes well at ICBF this morning, today is the day when everything changes.
Will you pray with us for a smooth transition, great bonding, and strengthening of all our relationships?
