Passport Diaries

Where Globe-Trotting meets Beach-Combing

November 13, 2011 Florida

Jet Lag

It’s 5am and Isaac is sleeping soundly. Chris and I, however, have a bad case of jet lag and have been up since Isaac’s 2am snack. Le sigh. I tried to sleep but I kept mentally decorating our house. That’s right—our HOUSE!!! we met with a realtor Saturday, found exactly what we wanted and submitted a bid with earnest money this afternoon, just in time to pick paint and tile colors. We should be in by New Years. Then we bought this excellent used car. And Friday we got new phone numbers. Not bad for being here just 72 hours! Now for some sleep. As soon as we get some insurance. And groceries. Thank you to everyone who was praying for this process to be expedited. I know you were many.

    OH my gosh!! It is true!

    Mari you need to timeline out your last two months (Oct and Nov) with the date and what was accompished… I think you might hold a record for the most productive short period of time!! For starters… having your first baby, navigating the waters of the baby passport process, travelling with a 1 month old to Kyoto, selling 3 vehicles, packing your entire house for an overseas move, accomplishing 1 million errands, etc. etc. etc.

    What a testimony to God's provision of power and strength… or else how on earth did that all happen!?!? 🙂

    I noted that your car is a Toyota, which is appropriate I think.
