Moving forward, slowly

A very minor update, but some progress has been made in the long process of moving towards departure. Today, my long-awaited FBI background check arrived, as well as the IRS certification of residency - on the same day! Additionally, I received an email a few days ago from the Monbetsu Board of Education, wanting to arrange a phone call with me. Although this has not yet been followed up on, it's nice to have some contact. August can't come fast enough!
