It's been awhile since I updated, things have been CRAZY. We moved 2 weeks ago and found 3/4 through our move that the farm's title deeds did NOT transfer as they led us to believe… So what to do? We had to continue with the move, into a gorgeous wooden cottage in a yoga retreat (I kid you not), in a forrest, not very far from the coast. This place is beautiful and peaceful and in spite of the stresses of the last week, did calm me down finally. And no, I didn't do any yoga! Long walks first thing in the morning work for me.
So, yesterday the transfer finally come through. We went to the Dept of Home Affairs in a nearby town to find out what can be done about DS's birth certificate, which we applied for 5 YEARS ago already.. Without which we cannot travel with him. It was ready?!?!?! I was so happy and surprised I hugged the Home Affairs official lol DH and I could finally make our travel plans and book our flights. We decided to try for this weekend and got really cheap flights for Sunday (31st), leaving from here to Abu Dhabi and from there to Dublin on Monday morning. I still haven't secured a rental/place to buy yet, but I am working on it. Wish me luck!
