Hello everyone!
I know that you all have so much time on your hands and can read this all the time. But I thought that when you have a few minutes to spare you could read some of these entries.
That being said. I leave for England on Saturday. I am getting really excited! I am having lunch with my mom, grandparents, sister-in-law, and nephew before I leave. Then my mom is dropping me off at the airport. I think that will be the hardest part of my day, saying goodbye (something that I don't always do well). I fly from Omaha to Denver, where I'll see Amy Leigh before my flight leaves for London. This is all pretty boring for you, so I will move on to the excitement in the last week.
In June a lovely lady at the UK Consulate told me that if I waited until the beginning of September to apply for my visa I would be okay. So I did just that. And then the worry started to set in. I had no word from the Consulate, nada, zip, zilch. My Ma told me that she would hope that it was in the mail every time she went to the mail box. Saturday I got an email that said they recieved it and were processing it. It would take three days. Oh, great, the little voice in my head said, three days- that means Wednesday they would get done and I would recieve it the following Monday. (The little voice in my head is very pessimistic sometimes.) I hoped that it would get here in time, the outside me is very calm and rational (I like it when that part of me wins). So I was panicing about all the things I would have to do to make arrangements, etc. When today I got an email that my visa had been sent. Praise God! So my visa should be here soon and that makes my Ma a lot less worried. That makes me a lot more happy.
I also have a new email address. Becuase who knows how long my one at NWC will work. Any way, here it is kolsonj@live.com
I hope that all of you have a wonderful day. There is more to come. If there is anything that I can be praying about for you, just let me know. I love you all!
