Oh boy..

So this weekend was crazy. First my sister and her family and my mom were in town to visit. Dad couldn't come, he was on firewatch up at their place. It's been so dry!! ANYWAY..We had a lot of fun having dinner with them and the kids on Friday. Unfortunately we didn't get to see them much, Saturday was our information session with the Agency. Wow there is so much to get together for our Dossier and stuff for the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Imigration Service, old INS) form. That sucker is gonna cost us over $600 bucks for the form fee. Yikes! that includes the hightech fingerprints we have to get.. yup didn't need to go thru all that last month down at the Courthouse. oh well. Anyway at the session a couple that came back in January from China brought their daughter in and she is just ADORABLE!! And they told us about their experience overseas and how great the agency staff was..we got to ask questions. It was great to see a couple who was all done!

Come to find out that it's taking a long time. China is behind.. some sort of filing problem or something. So we just have to be patient. We don't even have our Dossier over there and I have good moments and bad. There is so much to do at the house that it'll be good to have LOTS of time. And it will give us time to pay off the first part of the fees before the second part are due! I think my folks said they'd help with the airfare and anything else we may need. Aww.. thank you sooo much Mom & Dad! Mom already bought her cute shoes!! size 7! so it'll be awhile before she can wear them! oh they are cute!

Well that's this week's update. This Friday we are taking David out for his 40th birthday, which is next Wed. Going to Buca di Beppo... yum yum!!
