We're PINK!!!

What a day. When we went to bed last night, we were plotting our attack for today. We decided that if we didn't hear anything about our appointment early in the day, DH would call the embassy to check. Well, he did, and guess what? As luck would have it, they sent the email to the wrong email address and we were actually pink last Wednesday! Our appointment is next Tuesday, 5/27 at 7:15am. We'll have our princesa in our arms forever on Sunday, do some sightseeing Monday, Embassy on Tuesday, pick up her visa on Wednesday, then fly home on Thursday. Sounds like a lot, and it is, but there will be plenty of down time too.

We are just beside ourselves with excitement. In a matter of an hour or so we had our flights booked and paid for (eeek!) and friends and family notified. We've now booked our hotel as well, so other than packing and cleaning the house--we can't come home to this trash pit!--we're ready to go. Part of my heart has been in Guatemala for the last year and a half, and a tiny piece will forever be there, remembering la princesa's birthmom and the wonderful gift she has given us. It's almost surreal to think that we've made it to the finish line of this crazy ride. If I could settle down, I'd have myself a good cry. We did it. We'll be a family of four. What a blessed mama I am.

Thanks for the prayers and support, yet again. We look forward to la princesa being home and getting to know all of the wonderful people in our lives.
