The last update we got last night said that everything is at the U.S. Embassy now, and they are already coordinating things for us to be there the beginning of June. So, with fingers crossed, we just hope that we'll be given an exact date any day now. As soon as we get our date, we can purchase our tickets and head to both Austin and Houston to authenticate a document and apply in person for our own visas to travel.
We finally got boxsprings for his bed today and set it all up for him. I can't tell you what an awkward, nervous feeling that gave us. A little deja-vu. Haven't we done this once before? Even this close, knowing we could possibly be in Colombia with him in less than two weeks, yet we still hold our breath, as if it could all slip through our fingers once again.
I'm headed to a big sale going on on Monday to grab a few clothes for him. It all makes me nervous, but we better be at least somewhat prepared for him! Thankfully he and David are so much alike and wear a lot of the same style clothes--as long as it looks and feels athletic, they're good to go.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
