Woot! Woot! You rock M 💙👍 

You DID it!!! Well done :) 

I got your pound! lol 

yay, melissa! 

I’ll call you butter, because you’re on a roll! 😂 

Way to go Melissa you are fabulous! 🌞 

Wonderful!! 🤸🏻‍♀️😘 

Thank you so much, my friends! It has been and continues to be a wild week. Long hours that got longer at work the last couple days. My son had his passport appointment today. He didnt get his passport, but was told to check back tomorrow. As in, drive to downtown Seattle. If not then.... come back on Friday. If not Friday... We have Monday morning. 😂 Pins and needles... And because covid is going crazy here, Germany is now saying the States are an"risk" country. They have changed entry regulations. Just hoping, hoping it will all work out! 😁  

I would go crazy- all the waiting and not knowing. Sorry for any confusion with the profiles. I use this one to weigh and I figure if everyone can keep up with Chris and his many stolen profiles- surely you won't be too confused if I don't log out and back in. When will you know everything is for sure good to go and how do you keep up on the entry regulations- you just need a negative covid test and proof of vaccine? 

Oh the wait is agonizing! I'm praying for good results for you guys! I was wondering about Germany and entry to country because of uptick of Covid. It's crazy how upside down the world is!!!!💜💜💜💜 

Ohhhh Melissa, hope this all works out. So stressful..hang in there woman! You are strong!! 💪🏻 

Thanks, guys! Yeah... The stress isn't letting up very much. My husband is leaving in an hour or so to go down to the passport office. They said we could check back this afternoon. We have to get covid test results back before flight Monday afternoon. Our test appointment is Saturday morning. I wish we didn't have to be so close to flight time to havr the tests. We are Al's trying still to get rapid test appointments. If we can get then for Sunday, we will be golde... Maybe. 😁 If Germany shifts its regulations again to classifying the states at a higher risk level, even our vaccination status won't help us and only essential travelers can go. And... Have to have covid tests 48 hors before arrival in the country and quarantine five days until negative test results come back in country... But we think we would not even be allowed to try because we are going for leisure. Just staying with friends for no good reason. 😁 We Wil be pre-registration before travel and hope they approve our vaccination cards. 🤞 If we had any idea we would still be in this mess with travel bakc in November when we bought the tickets... We w poo uodnt have. But, now that we are here, we just are hoping it will all work out. I feel like I won't breathe until we get through passport control in Germany.  

Yeah... The restrictions changed for entry on Sunday, but travel is still possible. We hope they won't change again this Sunday. 😭 

Oh my gosh... I know how forward you have been looking to this trip. Let's just pray it works out!  

Hello all. Melissa is at work but would like you to know they got the passport! ❤️  

Yes! Thank you, Princess! ❤️ The lad got his passport today, so we can fly away on Monday! Yay! 😁 We still have our tests to get and results to be quick and negative. But, we are hopeful!!!!  

One step closer!  

Excellent!!!
