This is it!

After jumping through all kinds of hoops - we FINALLY have ALL of our documents for the Consulate. FBI background checks, State Department seals, Authenticated birth, marriage, and adoption certificates, doctors physicals, passport pictures, and several required documents from the Spain government offices.

Whew.

I laid all of our documents out in order today before I began the copying process.  They had to be sorted by PERSON...and then 4 copies made of EACH document for EACH person in our family.

I feel a little frazzled and crazy at this point.  And we need to be up by 5AM tomorrow to fly to Chicago.  Our meeting with the Consulate is at 12:20.

We would really appreciate the prayers of our family, friends, and support team!  We are praying for FAVOR.  And that the favor will extend to all offices that have to process our paperwork in order to issue our Visas.  And that our Visas will be granted in record time.  We have been told it could take 8+ weeks.  But we are praying for sooner!  :)
