The good, the bad, the vomitous and the DOUBLE vomitous!

GOOD:
  • An organized mom who had ALL the info needed to co-sponsor...made things super fast.
  • Getting all the needed forms notarized, for free, at 8pm!
  • The sweet lady at the bank who wrote a letter on behalf of the co-sponsor.
  • Nice wedding gifts on my doorstep-2 nights in a row!
  • Supportive family and friends who are lifting us up in prayer.
  • An AMAZING man who is worth all this "trouble"
  • Lots of work this week.
  • Friends with connections.
  • 12 hours of sleep and a fresh outlook.
  • Brownie a la mode for lunch.
  • I'm gonna be an Aunt.

BAD:

  • No one informing us until now that we even needed a co-sponsor.
  • My man not coming this weekend.
  • Squashed dreams.
  • The first mail place not being able to express mail to Ghana.

VOMITOUS:

  • The post office express mailing our documents to Ghana. The total: $106.00!

DOUBLE VOMITOUS:

  • Thanks to the delay, airfare has doubled...ugh.

I'm glad someone is laughing. Jon and Em are the baby makers at the moment...who knows what the count will be this time next year!

that totally sucks about the airfare, i hate buying plane tickets, so stressful and expensive, and i'm sure buying them internationally is way worse.

also, just to clarify, i did not think the situation was funny, just the word vomitous. that came across sounding more insensitive than i meant it... uggg, always putting my foot in my mouth.

congrats to jon and emily!

Oh Kristen, I didn't think that at all! Especially considering the last few months you have had, you are most certainly allowed to laugh at 'vomitous'! I know you're pullin for us!
