Ducks in a row...slowly

It's been about 6 months since we first started having conversations about the possibility of moving abroad to England. Last week, we finally completed our paperwork for our Visas with Ernst & Young and started corresponding with Kati, the Global Relocation Specialist assigned to us from Altair. Since those conversations happened, things have really picked up (as have stress levels!). Kati sent us a crazy, huge list of "to-do's" and we've been trying to tackle them one (or five) at a time. While I'm stressed beyond words, there is seriously something so euphoric about crossing things off of a LONG checklist--lord, I'm sick!

One of the main things we needed to do before moving was to get final check-ups for all four of us (physical, dental, vision) and obtain all of the records. Since time in the US is a precious commodity for us right now, we had to schedule our dental appointment for 6:30 this evening. Good thing our dentist is also our friend...he left his baby girl and beautiful wife to clean our teeth for over 3 hours!! Thanks Dr. T! I'm happy to report that we're all cavity-free and finally home.

Here's a picture of Matt (Stegen) getting his teeth cleaned by Dr. T. with the kids hovering close by in case he got too scared.
