Finally!

We got the final word from the University in Luneberg!  Yea!  Now I can proceed with plans and preparations without the caveat that perhaps this won't happen.  Of course, there are always things that can come up and change what one thought was a "done deal", but I am happy to be on the road towards a goal and able to start taking action. Of course, this comes at a time when we are coasting down the fast hill towards the holidays and all the activity that involves!

Waiting....

We have been in a holding pattern for the last month, which is probably not a bad thing, since I have really not had any time for even really thinking about going to Germany.  We are still waiting for the final approval from the University in Luneberg.  The last several weeks Tom's course proposal and financial contract were making their way through the various levels of the university and, last we heard on Friday, have finally made it to the president.

So, we are continuing to take German classes and got O his first passport, but we're holding off on purchasing tickets or maximum size luggage.  I think January is going to be a mad scramble.....just the way I like to spend the post holiday weeks!
