It's the final countdown (yes, you should sing it)!

Well, after a crazy weekend of moving things, tossing things, and stressing out, Audrey, Stegen, and I got up this morning to attend our Biometric Data appointment for our UK Visas. Dorian wasn't required to attend since he's less than 5 years old. The office where they process all this top-secret information reminded me of the DMV, with a bunch of seats in rows, facing a screen with red numbers on it. The only difference was that the people working there didn't scowl at us and make us feel dumb! 

Each of us got fingerprinted and our Visa information was entered into their system. After we finished up, we scoured through our applications, passports, UK photos, and birth certificates, to make sure that everything was in place to be sent over to the British Consulate in New York. This step was crazy stressful and nerve-racking, so the sweet ladies at the Smith Street USPS offered to take a photo of the three of us, getting ready to send off our important documents! And don't fret--Dorian's docs are in there too :)

We had a few minutes to spare before Stegen had to get back to work, so we shot over to Costco to pick up another mattress for Dorian's top bunk of his new bunk bed. For some reason, stores like Sleep Train and Mancini's Sleepworld sell twin mattresses (without boxspring) for over $400! Costco has their Sealy Dearborne twin 10" for only $149...either Costco is really awesome, or an unfortunate guest is going to have a sore back when they visit us in England and bunk with Dorian! Anyway, leave it to Audrey to get some R&R anywhere she can!
