the low down.

Since making the decision to move across the ocean there has been lots to do. Tim had to take the NAPLEX and a pharmacy law test and then wait for the results to be mailed to him since we live in the stone age. After that we were waiting for his diploma, license and our passports to be mailed. (How are some of these not available to do online? What year is this?) Right now we are only waiting on ONE thing and it should be here any day so we're looking to leave the U.S. in about a week.  (mere DAYS before the last Harry Potter movie! The universe hates me!) We are SO excited to get real life going.

While doing all this waiting we've been living it up as much as you can on a zero dollar an hour plus benefits salary by hanging out with our family and friends. It's been pretty awesome. The kids are LOVING seeing their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. I can tell they really miss their home in ABQ (we love you ABQ!) but they've been doing really well.

Owen has been chatting it up the last few weeks. He's said several new words like: Sorry, dog, Nate (our nephew), Bye, Hi, Hello, Grandpa, Aunt, Nancy, even crap! (Thanks Aunt Nancy! ha!)  One night I heard him wander into the kitchen and went in to follow him. I picked him up and said, "Let's go back to bed son." He answered, "No, mom!" He is really learning quickly and is loving the rough housing with Uncle Vince and cousin Nathan.

Saipan, here we come!!!!
