Yesterday we had our appointment at the US Consulate. I expected it to be some kind of grand thing were Keith and I were on a stage with 20 other people with our right hand raised taking our oath. It was a little less formal. We went through security and our guide had to stay behind. We went up to the 2nd floor of the building and took a number and waited. Our number was called and we went up to the little booth. The man asked us a couple questions and gave us some info and was like ok you are done. We asked is that it? Ha. It was pretty quick and easy. I had been looking forward to this day for a long time bc my friend Brittany had got me a really cute outfit for Brennan to wear on this day. Here are a couple shots from the consulate. The pic of us didn't turn out very good bc out of like 10 pictures my eyes were shut in about 8 of them!

Next we had heard about a market that had lots of purses! Yes that's right... I was in heaven.;) We went in though and it was so overwhelming I could hardly decided. I kind of felt bad making Keith and Judy walk around and look for a long time so I just picked one and we left. I like it but maybe don't love it. Thats ok though you all know I will have another new one again before too long! When we left there our next stop was called the toy market. It was pretty neat. Many floors of shops. There really wasn't that many toys but we found a few things. Our next stop was Italian restaurant. Keith and I shared some pizza. It was so nice for a change!!
This is the Italian restaurant
When we got back to the hotel we were wore out but Brennan had taken a nap in the stroller so we had to keep ourselves going. We had bought him a toy at the toy market. We had stopped at the 7-11 to buy batteries but then we realized we needed a screw driver to put the batteries in. Thank goodness the people that work here speak better English bc we went down to the lobby and they fixed us right up! Brennan was a happy boy to have his new toy!! The rest of our night just consisted of buying another suit case to bring home the stuff we had bought to bring home and McDonald's for supper.
Please be praying that the next 24 hours go smoothly. I worry about how B will do on the flight. He is a really restless sleeper. He tosses and turns all night. I don't know how it will work to hold him all that time. Our guide called the airline and they told us the flight is not full so they will try and get us an extra seat next to Keith and I to lay him in. I hope that works out;) It would be very helpful.
My next post will be from the US with pictures of my whole family together!! Can't wait to see you all.
