Visa Fun-12/15/2013

Well, after we completed all of the required paper work, SCI sent is the various documents needed to apply for our visa. As we were preparing to send for the visa we realized that our passports must be sent in to receive the visa stamp. This would normally not be a problem for most people, but we have an upcoming trip that will require our passports and we realized that our passports would be gone with the visa app. We contacted a passport procuring service and they informed us that we could apply for a duplicate passport that is only good for two years and it allows the main visa to be sent away with visa applications while you are traveling on the temporary passport. Apparently frequent business travelers experience this issue frequently and the temporary passport alleviates this problem. We paid an additional fee to have the temporary passports expedited. We hope they return in time or else our upcoming trip will not happen. We'll see!!
Well, three weeks ago my husbands grandfather passed away. He was a Godly man, a good man and he was very kind and honorable. We really loved him. He will be missed, but we know he has now received his reward. His wife was heartbroken and had severe medical issues. She followed him home day before yesterday. They were beautiful people. We love you, Papaw and Mamaw. I wish they had been able to see our babies, but I am sure they have already met them.
