getting closer!

OUR PASSPORTS & VISAS ARRIVED JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO!!! Once we get our flights confirmed we are all set to go! SO EXCITED!!!

Last night Torre and I finished packing and weighing everything that is being shipped to Cali. for storage. I can't believe how much stuff we have gotten rid of and yet everything we are keeping still amounts to 13 boxes totaling approximately 650lbs. We love our heavy belongings I guess. :) Now that that's all done we can request a pick up from FedEx for next week and it's all on it's way! We've come quite far since we moved from AZ to NH which consisted of my Toyota Tacoma, a Uhall trailer and Torre's Toyota Celica all packed to the brim (yes, we are a Toyota Family! Or...we WERE a Toyota family...maybe someday we will be again when we have a car). Now 13 boxes, 4 duffles and 2 carry on's lighter we are all set for an unbelievable adventure!!!

My husband being brilliant and showing off how strong he is for me. ;)

 

The blanket alone was almost 4lbs!

paper work, passports, visas OH MY!

torre's been hard at work the past new weeks completing all the necessary paperwork to submit to the medical board of new zealand for the final stamp of approval on our living abroad plans. the stack of paperwork is complete, extra passport pics have been taken (they are just as bad as you would imagine), and we FedExed the paperwork for our Visas yesterday at 3:58pm. Whew! now we wait.
