Today was a tough day. This afternoon I learned that my Uncle Jim (Dad's sisters husband) had a major stroke and is on life support. The family was told that he is brain dead and that there is no hope. The Dr's have suggested taking him off of life support.
This evening Katrina informed me that her cousins son who is 4 and has been on chemo for much of the past year, has cancer again. I can't imagine what it must be like for you child to have cancer.
Sad day all around...

Italy Update
Another step towards Italy has been taken. We had an appointment with the moving company this morning so that they could see what we have and give an estimate to HP. All of our furniture and most of our belongings will be put in long term storage. We will mostly be taking clothes and personal belongings to Italy.
The next big date is January 19th, when the work permit is up for review once more.....

Italy Update
Here is the latest:
We have a new TENTATIVE timeline. I'm not putting much faith in it since it has been postponed about 2-3 times already, but here it is anyway.
1/19 Work Permit up for review
2/23 Preview (apartment hunting) trip to Italy
2/28 Brandon and I return to Or to finish packing and finalize things. Katrina stays in Italy to begin work assignment.
1-2 weeks later Brandon and I will move to Italy to join Katrina.
As of this new year I am back to just trying to live life as we know and love it here in Oregon. I've signed up for a train show in February. Brandon and I are staying involved in Scouts. I've just realized that I can't put my life on hold anymore. We are ready to move and if the work permit gets approved, we will. If not or until then, life goes on.

Weight Watchers Update 8
I had my latest WW meeting this morning. After one week of cancelled meetings due to snow and two weeks on vacation, my goal was to maintain my weight loss at +/- 2 lbs. I weighed in at -.2lbs for a total loss of 12.4 lbs so far.
We are back home and back into our routine. My goal is to exercise all week and track my food.
