After calling Misha in Oregon and getting her to go to the Clackamas County recorders office to pick up a copy of our marriage certificate and then having her send it overnight to us in Utah, and then packing it all up and sending the certificate along with Melissa's passport to North Carolina to be amended, which cost us an extra 60$ to expedite shipping, we received an email from the HR person at our new job telling us to just send the un-amended passport along with the marriage certificate. So we waited a week to get the amended passport back and all the wonderful federal government had done was type a note on the back page explaining that Melissa's name had been changed.
We have since sent Melissa's passport, college diploma, and other info to Marugame to be looked over by the ministry of foreign affairs. Once they decide that Melissa can work in the country they'll send us a certificate of eligibility which we must then send to the Consulate office in Denver where we apply for visas. If the visas go through we'll be on a plane to Osaka International airport on July 26th. If something goes wrong, this blog may end faster than it started.
So we wait.

Hey guys!. Mom got home just fine. After dropping you off at the aiport, I went back to the house, called Oscar, he came and put the shampoo machine in my car and accepted the keys and the garage door opener. Oscar was very impressed with how nice the house and yard was. The carpet was completely dry by the time he got there! I went back to Jason's and slept until 2 p.m.. Then Heidi and I went to the library and I checked out a book on cd, and took off. Got home at 11:30. Very nice trip. Very glad to be home. Told Dad I did not want to lift anything heavy for at least a monthj. I love you guys! Hope you get this.. I'm not sure how to complete the posting process
