We had a great meeting with the lawyer today. We are feeling more optimistic now! We still don't officially have a date in El Salvador yet, but we have decided on a departure date. We have decided to leave March 29th! 3 1/2 weeks away...crazy!! Because we are driving, we need to allow ourselves extra time to get there before the appt. If we get the appt time this week or next and it's 2 months away, we will wait, but for now we will be leaving soon.
It's such a mixture of emotions. We've been waiting soooo long for this and as soon as I realized we are really going, I cried. They are happy and sad tears. It's relief that I can finally finish the preparing and actually go. It's sad that we are leaving my family and friends and that Liliana will be away from her Grammy that she desperately adores! And it's happy that Eduardo will be reunited with his 2 kids and mom that he hasn't seen in 8 years!
I'm going to be working hard to next couple weeks trying to catch up with friends, make Cultured Veggies, put together our packet for the consulate, pack everything for storage and the trip and prepping the car. And that's just the beginning...ha!

Waiting for the date...
I decided to create this blog so family and friends can keep updated with where we are at in the whole immigration process, as well as hearing our story of the crazy drive to El Salvador and our attempts at a "normal" life there.
Right now we are waiting for the date of departure. The Consulate in El Salvador should be sending us an appt date for when Eduardo needs to be there very soon. Once we receive this date, we will decide when to leave. We are busy now getting everything together...there's a lot to think about when you are moving to another country for a year! I am busy packing, organizing all the paperwork and preparing for the drive down. I am also still making Cultured Veggies for Cleansing Waters and entertaining Liliana of course! You could say my days are very full!! All the while, Eduardo is working crazy hours to be able to support us financially for the year. We are trying to be as positive as possible and look forward to this adventure. Of course we have our highs and lows, but we know it's all for the best!
I will update this again when I have more info from the lawyers.
