Dot Connector

As a kid I think we all liked doing the little "connect the dots" type of puzzles. I feel like we are participating in a really huge life size one right now! We continue on this path being obedient to follow along from one dot and then the other. The connecting lines are sometimes enormous and other times they are itty bitty. All the while not knowing what the "big" picture we are working on is going to develop into. But, we don't have to know exactly, we just have to trust that the picture will be COMPLETE and we will know that it will be PERFECT because it was designed by God - the GREAT DOT CONNECTOR!
Today, we had quite a few dots to connect. First, we went to the bank and had a few last documents notarized. Uneventful. Then, our psychologist (who is great by the way) had our eval all ready to be picked up after 11:00. We went from there straight to the Secretary of State, downtown. The nice lady at the desk looked over all of our documents and just when I thought she was going to say, "ok, you're good to go", she found 6 or 7 notarization errors that needed to be re-done. Ok, little smidgey of a melt down, on my part! Arggggggg!!!! But....Thanks to my sister's wonderful secretary, Renee, we were up and running again in just a little bit. She so graciously, looked them over, re-notarized, re-copied, and re-stapled with a big smile on her face. A true answer to prayers! So....we ran them back over to the Sec of State and left them there and she informed us that she would call us when they were all ready. Sure enough, she called and said that they had all passed through Jefferson City and we could come pick them up. Never really thought I could be so excited about 26 'SEALS'!:) 26 GLORIOUS SEALS!!
Huge Step - Huge dot that it takes to complete this totally awesome picture!
Now? They are ready to be Fed Ex'd to Chicago to the Peruvian consulate. For...more seals. Then, off to Villa Hope where they will prepare it to go to Peru and we will wait to be approved. Which could take a couple months to be reviewed by all its departments.
Thanks for following along on our journey!
