Awaiting the Golden Ticket

The test in patience has begun.  Footprints notified us we should receive our tickets this week.  Several have already received their's, I have not.  I'm waiting, patiently, as I hear this is the first step in surviving in the desert.

Chuck and I spent the last week with Kristi and her family.  We got to see Shelina and the grandbabies.  We are back at his mom's, awaiting the golden ticket.

Kristi's hubby, Doug, broke out his tattoo guns and creative energy for us.  

I originally wanted this on my foot. However, moving to Abu Dhabi, I realize I do not need to have this in an area visible, especially at work.  Chuck wanted something to represent his struggles for the past year and half.  Here is his diabetes awareness ribbon.

Doug did a wonderful job.  We are both very pleased with his work.

This week will include tying up loose ends. Prescriptions to fill, papers to notarize, and we need to get our wills witnessed and notarized.  I will once again try to get my suitcases under weight, figure out how I will carry my computer, since it makes my carry-on overweight.  But the adventure will begin, and I should be in Abu Dhabi by the end of the month.

Insha'Allah (God Willing)
