First, we got our FBI criminal history reports back and we got the confirmation that we are not criminals. It did mention that Robert is on the "Official Ginger Watch List" for gingerly activity. That was nothing new to me. The news for the FBI reports are great in moving along the process of moving to Panama.
On a joking side, could you imagine the dialogue between us had the reports turned out with anything other than "The FBI has no prior arrest data." These documents, along with our marriage certificate, were sent to the Panamanian Consulate in Washington DC to become legal documents via the Panamanian government, which is a requirement in the visa process.
The second update relates to our house, as we received not one, but two offers on the house. This has helped us come to the realization that our time in this house is limited. Unfortunately, both of the offers had to be turned down at this time. It would be great if something changed or we got another offer in. Even if this does not happen, it is pretty reassuring that people are at least interested.
Robert and I realized that our time in the house is limited, and that the box of stuff in our spare bedroom need to be sorted through sooner or later.

We also decided that since our time is limited, we should probably get a new mailing address in the event somebody puts in an offer and wants to close quickly. Obviously we have not moved yet, but we both feel like getting a new mailing address will help ease the transition.
Things feel like they are slowly starting to move forward. We will most likely head to Panama to start the process in person as soon as we get the documents back from the Consulate. This will be the next step in order to gain a clearer idea of when we will be able to make the official move to Panama. Baby steps forward are better than baby steps backwards, or none at all, right?
