Happy Fourth of July
Well, today is July 4th and Darren has received his "handshake" emai offering him the Contract Engineering job in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He has sent back his acceptence and the process has begun. Things should start moving pretty fast now. We will be getting an Expat Coordinator to help and guide us through the process. I guess the next step for me and the girls is to get our passports. Darren and I will be taking a trip to Port Harcourt to check everything out and find out what we need to do to register Jade for 1st Grade and Lexi for Pre-School.
On a side note: Last night around 9:00 PM Darren when outside to get something out of the van and heard a tiny kitten crying. Being an animal lover as I am I went outside to investigate and found this sweet little bitty kitten in the tire well of our neighbors SUV. It took about 5 minutes before I could catch her, she was so afraid and dirty and a big dog tried to eat her right before I caught her. To make a long story short, she was brought inside and cleaned up a bit, I fed her some food and she ate like she hadn't seen food in days it was so sad. We held her for while, let the greys and Coco smell her (everyone was fine except Reigni wanted to play and Coco was a bit snobbish. I put her in a pet taxi with a towel and stuffed animal and she slept all night without crying. Poor little thing was exhausted and happy to feel safe while she slept. She did her business in the litter box this morning. Now I have to figure out what we are going to do with it. I don't know how I'm going to pry it away from the kids, they already started calling it Africa, although I think Indy would be cute since we found her for the 4th of July. Coco can't come to Nigeria with us, she's just to old to make the long trip, she hates riding in the pet taxi to go to the vet, you'd think we were killing her with those screams. But we could take Indy, she's young enough to travel and the kids would be happy to bring a pet they knew with them. The greys are staying with our friends who own a kennel and we'll pick them up when we come home for our long visits. This is breaking my heart, I love Blacky, Chopin, Spurzie Girl and Reigni Marie more than words can say, and I cry everyday thinking I have to leave them, but they'll be together and they'll have many friends (greys, whippets and afghans) and lots of love from the owners who live on site. Many areas for them to run free (fenced in of course) it will be like a doggie country club.
Well, that's it for now, I'll keep you posted on the next stage of our Adventure.
