SO Much to do!

There is so much to do and I'm a planner, Fred's a let it play out kinda guy... Grrr! I don't want to be caught with my pants down so to speak so I have packed the kids bag like three times I'm finishing our laundry to pack our bag. We went to the credit union today to order our "newer" bills and they lady said she would do what she can she doesn't know if when she puts the order in if she can be that specific but she will try!!! Also Fred and I are on the hunt for money belt... anyone???? We are gathering all the take along paperwork and I am making sure work will run smoothly while I'm gone. I wrote the families I work for a little letter to let them know I'll be gone and we are making sure we have people to cover our responsibilities at church. I made a check list... I love check lists!!!! I can't help but feel like I'm behind somehow... or like I'm missing something. I think it's just that there is so much to do that I get nervous I'll leave something out!!! Keep Praying!

New News!!!!

I know it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. I have come on a few times but I just had nothing to say. Fred and I have been VERY busy redoing 14 very important documents, I think we could drive out to Madison with our eyes closed!!!! Lets see we got all our document done and sent and then Sunday night Nancy emailed me and before I even opened I had the biggest pit in my stomch. I opened it and read it... Of course there was another mistake!!!!! So after crying my eyes out, yet again I got online and emailed Fred's work to see if they could redo his employment letter. Praise God the next morning she called and the letter was done we drove all the way to Cudahy (about 30mins from our home) got the letter drove to my Mom & Dads house to scan and email it, We didnt get a responce right away and it was already 11am Fred hadn't slept and I have to be to work by 2pm so we thought ok lets just head to Madison. Thank God for email to your phone because just before we got on the freeway to head 1hr 1/2 to Madison I got an email the the REDONE letter was wrong... GRRRRRR!!! Now Im am very honestly ready to give up at this point, Fred is tired and hungry, Im hungry and trying to keep my head. We turned around and when home. Once we got there Fred called his HR lady and explanied what happened, after trying to not only understand what we needed ourselfs but having to explain what we dont understand that we need to someone that needs to do it for us... we all started making sence. (did you follow that???) Barb was more than happy to put this on her priority list. She got it done we drove back to Cudahy (about 30mins from our home)when Fred went i to pick it up Barb asked if there was anything else she could do and Fred said yeah could you scan this and email it to my wife (jokingly) Barb took the form from Fred and did jut that!!! That saved us from having to drive all the way back to my parents house and we were able to hop on the freeway and start our trip to Madison yet again!!! Three hours, a tank of gas and $35 (to pay to expidite the certifing process) later we are home. I had to call into work (Thank God for the BEST STAFF in the world) Fred still hadn't slept or eaten... WE WERE BEAT!!!! We made dinner and Fred had about two hours to sleep before he had to go back to work. Tuesday morning when he walked into the house he looked very much like a zombie!!! He passed out as soon as he walked in the door. I felt awful so I prayed "Lord if there is any way the Secratary of State can call this morning so I can go pick it up without Fred" see the thing is I have to be to work by 2 or 2:30 so they would have to call by 12 for me to have enough time to drive there and back before I start!!! Well thank you Lord they called at 11am and my Mom and I jumped in the car and headed back out there once again!!! I got to my Moms house scaned and emailed it then I headed to work.
I don't know if I have said this before but for whatever reason I am SO afraid of Federal building or any building of importantance (sometimes the library even freaks me out... CRAZY I know) Through this process I have been make to overcome that fear but I still get a little shakey. So after work I went home and Tanya and I talked for a bit then decided to head down to the airport post office. We got there filled out ALL the forms that go along with a global express package and paid $93 to send one sheet of paper to Ukraine... can you believe that? I was just prasing God it wasn't $110 like the last two time we shipped this paperwork. They accepted my document at 7:26pm, after we were done the man said we made it just in time before the trucks went out they leave at 7:30pm... the lady ran out to hold the truck to make sure our package got on!!!!
So there you go that is where we sit... We are praying sooooo veryy hard that we get submitted tomorrow so even if your not a praying person PLEASE consider taking it up just for today!!!!!
