Plane tickets booked!

Hola from a very excited Kristin! This morning, everything went smoothly with Josh's application for a visa to enter the US. Chad and I were both holding our breath the entire 2 hours!!! We will pick up the visa tomorrow afternoon (Friday) at 3:30. As soon as we got back to the hotel, we raced to book tickets. We will be home Saturday night at 8:42 PM. We will be flying into Madison and you are invited to meet us at the airport. I cannot promise that Josh will be awake, but if you can't wait to get a first glimpse, please come and celebrate his arrival to the US with us! Here are our flight details:
Northwest 9002- Bogota to Atlanta- leave 9:30 and arrive 3:32
Northwest 1433- Atlanta to Minneapolis- leave 5:15 and arrive 7:05
Northwest 0398- Minneapolis to Madison- leave 7:35 and arrive 8:42

We only have 30 minutes when we land in Minneapolis, so pray that everything is on time and that we can be fast!

We are visiting and touring Ayudame this afternoon. We will post some pictures later tonight.

See you SOON!!!!

Hola! Hola! Hola!
Sounds like life is treating you very well. I am soo lokking forward to your coming home (Cloey and Mikki miss you a lot). Today I met the people working on your bathroom, very nice guys, Cloey peed on the floor (I found that funny). It has come very clear to me that Mikki misses you a lot now. For the first time in every other time I have come over she sat on my lap and I pet her for a total of ONE HOUR! It was insanely cool (you have no idea my excitment). I have never really gottne along with cats, but I'm really liking Mikki :) Again can't wait to see you all back safe and sound in Waunakee. Well back to homework and getting ready for Friday! Hope everything goes smoothly!

Laura,Cloey,and Mikki

...See you at the airport.

I have envisioned this day for years, literally, and am thanking God with tears in my eyes that we are here. So soon.

Safe travels. Look for me behind the lens at the airport.

HOORAY!! We are so thrilled to hear this news and we know that prayers have been answered for you to be able to get through this whole process in less than a month. We can't be there on Saturday to welcome you home (although we wish we could), but we'll be in touch soon. Gabe finally figured out how to crawl on his hands & knees today (instead of just army-style)...so now he's all set to show Josh how it's done :)
Safe travels -
Amy

Hey Guys, it's me again...you know I'm a total planner... We can't make it to Madison tomorrow night for Joshua's Homecoming Party because we're going to EC to celebrate my dad's bday, but we want to see all of you as soon as we can! Please let us know when we can come there or when you'll be in Appleton next...we are soooo anxious to see all of you! Maybe when you're bored on the plane ride you can brainstorm some dates that may work... :) If you're not asleep, that is. :)
Love you!
