*making copies of our last 3 years taxes
*getting "certified" copies of such things as birth certificates and our marriage certificate
*tweaking our autobiographies
*getting passport photos
*updating my passport
*spending ALOT of time with our bank notary
*spending alot of time in prayer
any guesses? :)
hints will follow soon so check back for 2 really cute photos. :)
but for now I leave you with a darling pic of Miss Elizabeth.
We spent nearly 5 hours yesterday driving all over our town -getting our marriage certificate (which took over 30 minutes cuz they moved the files) and then nearly 2 hours trying to get my birth certificate AND Elizabeth's new US birth certificate. They couldn't find E's birth certificate on file for nearly an hour so I lost my original place in line...then when my number was finally called again, they lost where they had originally found her file. OY VEY!!! I was on the verge of tears cuz it was past 1pm -none of us had eaten lunch, nor did I bring snacks INTO Vital Records cuz I didn't expect it to take so ridiculously long,.....the kids actually did better than I did. They played happily and were such troopers.
Once we had what we needed (which ends up just being a receipt cuz they couldn't GIVE the certificates to me -they have to mail them...UGH!) we raced to the nearest fast food joint, inhaled lunch, and then set off on the 45 minute drive back home.
I couldn't get a pic of Becca cuz she sits right behind me, but suffice it to say, she looked just like Elizabeth -EXHAUSTED! :)
