You must be getting very excited. The visa approval is a big step.

Have you sold your home here? It seems there's so much preparation to do, and you don't dare forget anything.

Joe - that's thrilling! Doing a little vicarious happy dance here in Brooklyn, hope you feel the party down the east coast (not quite down-under yet!)...

Love,

I am so happy for you Joe. Envious as you know, but still thrilled for you. So much to do but what a reward at the end of the tunnel.

Love, Maggie

GRADUATION----TEAR TIME!!!

Post by barbaranoela »

Well the weather was super but due to all the past days of rain they did a chair sampling outside---someone sat and the chair sunk into the ground---soooooo

the decision was in the auditorium---and we were happy with that---and totally Xtatic to see Kait marching in---cap and gowned---along with the other 299 graduates-----

and the yells from the kids when after receiving their diplomas --the professor said--OK now flip your tassle to the other side of your caps---a big roar rang out--

WE are so proud of Kait---and she smiled from ear to ear when GRAMPS told her---Kait U are the first one --in our family, to graduate from college~~~

Now will be her task of finding a permanent job----

Next will be Kris---who graduates from SYRACUSE UNI. next year!!!!

so we had a super day---but I am happy to be home!!!!

Hope U all had a fine day!!

if you plan on walking to Oz, better get some flippers and shark repellant before you hit the west coast......

Great news Joe, one step closer to the big move to the other side of the world.
