A New Child Amongst Us

On a side note, I am currently in WA with my sister. She went into labor on Friday June 19th. At 10:37am on June 20th Michelle Lynn Young was born into our world via C-section. Weighing at 8lb 9oz and 22.5in long. We are now at the hospital with Kristin recovering from the surgery and will most likely go home from the hospital tomorrow.

Obtaining Visa is a Tedious Process

So I mailed out the application for a UK visa on Friday in hopes that it would get there ASAP. The scary thing with the application is that the British Consulate in Los Angeles wants original copies of everything. So all of my official letters from the University of Edinburgh, my real passport, my real Bachelors Degree certificate have all been sent to Los Angeles through the mail. Scary! I sure hope it does not get lost! There are 6 weeks to go and they say the visa takes 6-8 weeks to process. I hope it is done before those 6 weeks are up, otherwise I will have no passport to get into Edinburgh. I spoke with a friend and she says that her visa did not take 6 weeks, and to not worry. So I am a little less stressed now. Anyway, just wanted to give an update on the status of getting to Edinburgh.
