When I saw that Emily at Jones Design Company was offering an online blog class teaching all the ins and outs of blogging, I […]

It’s happening

I can’t believe it is really happening. Our POA was told today at the embassy that Kwasi’s visa will be granted and will be printed soon. I really just can’t believe it. This has seemed like such a long journey and yet, I know, start to finish it will have been less than 13 months. […]
