The Immigration Office

Monday we visited the immigration office as the last step to getting our visas in hand.  We are so thankful for how it went.  When we arrived there were at least 15 people waiting outside and another 25 inside.  We used an agent to manage and collect all our paperwork.  So as soon as we met the agent, we were shown into a room to have our pictures taken and be finger printed.  Then we were free to go.  The boys where amazing.  Last year neither wanted their pictures taken and many tears were shed.  This year Caedmon wouldn’t even let me in the room with him, he wanted to do it all by himself.  He was also quite disappointed when they didn’t need his finger prints.

 

On another thankful note, we just renewed our rental contract on our house for another year.  We had been in negotiations with our landlords for a few weeks.  We had seen four houses in the mean time and found nothing as nice as our current house.  There was one small house which would have been very nice, but the size would have made it difficult to have visitors stay the night.  Our rent was raised slightly, but still within our budget and still a steal for the house, furniture, and location.  We are thanking Him!!!

On our way home, it had rained for ~24 hours
