Teaching Council approved!

Wohoo! I woke up this morning to an email saying my papers have been approved (finally) and they will be sending out the letter this week.  Finally they are done and we're getting very close to being able to send in our entire package.  The only thing is we're off on our holidays on Saturday and I don't think it this paper and OH's TOEFL paper will arrive before then so I guess we won't be sending our application off until the middle of July when we return home.  I guess as long as both papers safely arrive, that's what counts more than me getting it sent off on the deadline I chose.  We might even overnight the package when we do get it all together, but that isn't decided yet as here the post (in general) works really well and things get delivered pretty quickly anyway.  So registered will probably work just fine.

still waiting on two papers - the longest wait

Through this whole process I thought it was the waiting for immigration that should be difficult.  I haven't even gotten to the waiting part for immigration because we're still waiting for OH's TOEFL paper result to come back and my Teaching Council registration to be finished.  At least OH got in touch with Toefl who has agreed to send another copy to him at no additional charge today since it got sent from the States on the 13th of May.  Who can believe the post can take that long?  My auntie just sent me flip flops leaving the States last week and they've already arrived so I can't believe a paper can take this long.  I'm beginning to question the postal system on this side since I also have a letter from within Sweden that should have arrived and didn't.  Normally post here is next day delivery, max two days.  We're heading off on our camping/hiking trip in Jylland, Denmark next Saturday so really really these papers need to arrive before our holiday so I can get it sent off.  Otherwise, it'll be something I'm thinking about on our holiday and the first thing I'll be looking for when we get back from Denmark on the 15th of July.  Doing lots of other things to keep myself busy, but of course this is the distraction I'm using to keep my mind off the other things.  Really want things to be on our side or I should say my side since my husband is such a relaxed person anyway and doesn't get himself stressed at all compared to me.  At least a lovely summer ahead of us with a camping/hiking trip in Denmark, some days back here in Sweden before we're off to Poland with some friends of ours and their lovely little girls whom I adore and who OH loves playing with too!
