Well today is an exciting day for us. We have received an email notification from the Spanish Embassy that our Visas are approved.  The email today simply stated “Your visa application has now been approved, and you have now 30 days in which to pick it up. Kindly bring your passport and airline ticket to this Consulate for its issue.”

It is interesting that a simple short email could evoke so many different emotions. We are relieved that it is approved of course. The fact that we sold most of our stuff already, we are glad it wasn’t  in vain. The realization that the Visas are secured also is exciting and invigorating knowing that in one month from today we will be heading to Spain not to visit but to live there.  We are nervous about the adventure and moving to a country where we have never been to.  We are also sad leaving friends and family but know that social media will help us to stay in touch.

To sum up how we feel I guess you could say we are standing at the edge of a cliff looking down and getting ready to bungee jump. We know we have a cord tied to us, but it still scary as heck. The only thing left is to take a leap of faith and jump.

So tomorrow we go to the Spanish consulate and pick up our Visas.
