We spent April and May in the States to renew our visas. This means we have already been here in Northern Ireland for 2 years! Amazing, how time has simply flown by.
We had allowed 2 months due to the UK website stating the average time to process a visa is 4 weeks, so we thought we'd allow even more time. Well, we applied on a Tuesday and that Thursday received emails stating that our visas had been approved and were in the mail - we were so relieved and shocked at the speed. The Lord knew we needed extra time to spend with our family and friends.
We had a wonderful trip, spent a lot of time with our families in Washington State and California.
Thank you all so much for praying for our trip.
