Along for the Ride...: Step one...
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/step-one.html
Along for the Ride. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Thanks for your prayers! I got a temporary visa today that will allow me to travel outside the country and re-enter for up to three months. After that I have to stay until the decision is made on the work visa. But YAY they are letting me go. :) We can attend our wedding! Went to the Greek consulate as well but the guy who "may" be able to help me was out sick. I'm sure he was on strike. These are Greeks after all! Labels: Life in Oz. 4/14/11, 7:11 PM. Go, Sh...

Along for the Ride...: Cluck.
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/cluck.html
Along for the Ride. Sunday, April 10, 2011. I attended my first ever "hens' night" last night. We would call it a bachelorette party, but being in the spirit of the queen as they are here (they drive on the wrong side of the road, for goodness' sake), it was a bona fide hens' party. And it was for me! Me with Deb B, Jeannie (part of the family I live with), and Deb F. My new "in laws" - Kate (cousin), Margaret (aunt), "Mummo" (Grandma in Finnish),. Cathryn, Adele (Andrew's sis), and Amy. 4/11/11, 7:47 AM.

Along for the Ride. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Here's my hair (since Andrew cut it). And a funny face. :). This means we got our engagement photos back! I'll post our favorites soon.). Pic of the day. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Today, on March 26, I finished my book for February. Only 26 days late. I am considering revising my goal to one "need to read" book every two. Months, rather than one. I believe in setting myself up for success. ;). Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Day Slavery. Still...

Along for the Ride...: December 2010
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Along for the Ride. Thursday, December 23, 2010. Almost time to go. We leave in the morning (Friday) for Seattle! It's been a year and I can't wait. Because of the time zones, our Christmas Eve will be 42.5 hours long, complete with 3 flights and 25 hours of traveling. That is pretty gnarly; we are going to be a barrel of laughs when we arrive mid-day, definitely ready to party that night. ;). Saturday, December 18, 2010. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Wow, that is a milestone. Who knows how I started eat...

Along for the Ride...: Step two...
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/step-two.html
Along for the Ride. Friday, April 15, 2011. The nice people at the Greek consulate have submitted the proper form and copy of my passport to request a penal certificate to affirm that I am not a criminal in Greece. Hurray! It was so much easier than I ever dreamed. The last thing I'll need to do is get fingerprinted in the States to have a background check and then it should be smooth sailing for my work visa. I hope I have black fingers in my wedding. PS My dress came in today! Labels: Life in Oz. Jamie...

Along for the Ride...: I miss bananas
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-miss-bananas.html
Along for the Ride. Monday, April 18, 2011. What a poor deprived country I live in. Because of the hurricane in Queensland in February, our banana prices have been soaring - because most of them were destroyed. I think they are about $13/kilo at my local supermarket at the moment. I can't argue with the prices as the markets try to support the farmers who lost so much of their crops. It just means that bananas are truly a treat these days. Labels: Life in Oz. 4/19/11, 1:35 AM. Hey write me back. How to S...

Along for the Ride...: 34 days: married and staying in free missionary housing
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/34-days-married-and-staying-in-free.html
Along for the Ride. Monday, April 04, 2011. 34 days: married and staying in free missionary housing. I'm thankful God didn't let me be anxious for too long! Wow, totally relieved and grateful. Labels: blessings and praises. This too, is an answer to my prayer! I had been drafting an email that began, Married and Homeless: Been there - Done that! And was to end with: .and you know Who is in control. Now, you have this testament to carry with you when Life does. Yay. 4/4/11, 6:19 PM. 4/7/11, 5:41 AM. Emily...

Along for the Ride...: Megali Evdomada
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/megali-evdomada.html
Along for the Ride. Friday, April 22, 2011. That's Greek. Remember Greek? I'm startled (that says " startled. And then it nearly does my head in to realize that those are cultural things - my whole view of Easter is American. Like I said - it's doing my head in. I see their side yet I am still very much entrenched in my own (since, you know, I'm American). I'm bothered, and I do feel like opportunities are being missed - and that I'm. Yet I am also thinking through what Easter truly. Labels: Life in Oz.

Along for the Ride...: grr, Grrrrr, and GRRRRR!
http://journeyoftheclaypot.blogspot.com/2011/04/grr-grrrrr-and-grrrrr.html
Along for the Ride. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Grr, Grrrrr, and GRRRRR! Some disheartening news this morning.my work visa will not be granted by April 30. I guess they sent me a "request for further information" last month, but I am not sure where. They sent that.I never got it. I need to supply police and background checks from every country I have lived more than 12 months in the last ten years. Week before the wedding when I get to Seattle. Praying specifically for these details! 4/13/11, 2:58 PM.
