Well, tomorrow is the day that Tim and his fiancee, Nikki, and Nikki's dad, along with two fully loaded vehicles, attempt to cross the border between Canada and the US. When they cross they will request "Early Parole" (which means she will be given permission to return to Canada to visit her family) and a work visa for Nikki. But these are apparently rarely granted, and instead must be filed and waited for along with the permanent residence visa (which can be filed after their wedding, and usually take in excess of a year of waiting.) They will present the sealed envelope from the American consulate which contains everything they *should* need for Nikki to cross the border and begin living in the US. Please pray that the border folks would look on them all with favor, and not give any trouble or find anything lacking in the paperwork and preparations.
Additionally, Tim has received one job offer from Raytheon in Tucson which looks great, and he is finishing up the interview process with Booz Allen Hamilton in Virginia as well, and it is looking promising. Please ask the Lord to guide Tim and Nikki as they make decisions, and carry out all the final wedding preparations. The wedding is two weeks from Saturday (the same day as Lynne's Anna!!) and so there are lots of things to finish. And they would love to know where they are going to be living after the honeymoon!
We leave, Lord willing, two weeks from today for the wedding. I began the "booster" part of my treatment today, and have just 7 more treatments left. The best thing is that I now have one circle mark left, and I get to start the process of removing the others...like the one that would show on my sternum when I wear my dress to the wedding! Please pray for continued minimal side-effects and the course to finish on time (last day should be Monday, Sept. 8).
Thanks, friends, for your love and support and prayers!
