Murphy is alive and well!

If anyone was wondering ... Murphy is alive and well (too well if you ask me). If it can go wrong it has! We thought, from reading Australia's website, that it would take a day or two at the most to get our visas. So, we applied when we had a pretty firm date in mind just to be told it would be more like 2 WEEKS! So, now we are waiting on our visas hoping that the prices of the plane tickets won't sky rocket.


We were hoping to have our appraisal by last week and we FINALLY got it done today although he won't have a dollar figure until Friday so hopefully Murphy won't strike at the price as well as the timing. Murphy has attacked other little things too but we are hoping he is getting tired of us and has moved on to someone else.

We DID find a place to store my truck for the year (thanks to my cousin, C.R.) ... inside AND cheap so we won't have to worry about it while we are gone. The only problem is (Murphy again) we have to drive it up to Billings and we thought we had made our last trip up there last week. Oh, well.

The plan (now) is to leave here and drive to Billings Thursday afternoon and then leave Billings and head south for New Mexico on Friday. Should put us there on Saturday or Sunday.
