Happy! Happy!! * Joy! Joy !!!


I just got off the phone with our agency

...and guess what's here!?! :)


YIPPEE JESUS!! :) One step closer! Next in line in our TA, which we are hearing is taking approximately 2 months to get. After which we should travel w/in about 3 weeks! Please pray it comes soon and that our final papers process quickly w/out any hold-ups, so that we can bring this precious little girl home already!!! Oh how I long to kiss those sweet cheeks!! :)

"This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
