Pieter and I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season spent with family and friends!
As we look forward to the new year we have several important dates set up for Pieter to complete the process of gaining our marriage visa now that the waiver has been approved.
Prayers for a busy month of January are appreciated. Pieter will have a doctor's appointment that is required when applying for a visa and then a visa interview at the Amsterdam consulate in late January. I will keep you posted on the progress of those steps.
We have decided for the new year to be a "transition year" as we figure out where to go next! Pieter hopes to travel over to America for a short visit, pending the approval of his visa interview.
For now, here is a Christmas greeting from our family to yours! Love to you all during this Christmas season and Happy New Year!
