Bye Bye Miss American Pie. . .

Here's the update I've been dreading to write. . . we got official word today that we need to be out of the country in less than 3 weeks. Our heads are reeling what that means in terms of when we can come back, what to do with our house, cars, etc, in the meantime. We've been doing our best trying to plan for the future in spite of all of this. Vivien's ready for Kindergarten here, Madison's found an *amazing* middle school. We are planning. . . "If you build it, they will come." So, if we 'build' our future, will we see it happen that way? We sure hope so.

I cannot express enough gratitude for all of the letters that were written on our behalf. Those have buoyed us up during this time, learning how we've touched the lives of people we really value, and who've touched us as well. Thank you for taking time out of your own daily struggles and busy schedules to support us in this way. We've been told, by the liaison that we're working with at the Senator's office, that we are well known by the entire office now! They are not giving up, and we will welcome any miracles - even late comers. . . but we must now plan our trip back to Alberta. If Milo was licensed to practice in Canada, or could secure licensure quickly, our options would be so different. He is meant to be a Chiropractor, it is his passion, and he is so good at what he does. We hope that he can get back to practicing very, very soon.

In the meantime, any locals, look for an announcement of a 'garage sale' from us - hopefully it will be next week, we need to raise money to get through this time, and if it comes to us moving permanently, there will be a LOT that we won't be taking with us.
