Notice Anything Different?

So, observant readers, have you noticed anything missing from my blog today??? That's right...no more counter on the right for our approval.

Wonder why???

I'll give you one, BIG guess.

Give up??

WE HAVE APPROVAL, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, you heard that right. After waiting a mere FOURTEEN calendar days, I was informed at 10:23 p.m., September 10th, that yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus. The USCIS has determined that our baby is an orphan, and she is OURS. OURS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm GOING TO VIETNAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you might be asking, when. Well, let me tell you. We will be leaving on Friday, Sept. 19th, to ensure that we arrive in Hanoi on Sunday, Sept. 21st. We will have our Giving and Receiving Ceremony sometime early in the week.

I can hardly STAND it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I have got to try to get some sleep tonite. You would NOT believe the amount of things I have to do. Including getting the baby's room together!!!!!!!

Thank you all for your support and love. It's been a long ride, but well worth it.
