Soon.. I tell ya soon...

Ok.. so the officer at the NBC was able to get our paperwork completed and faxed to our agency Thursday the 5th... a couple hours after my last post. And then our agency sent our letter of intent or something to the CCAA-China Center of Adoption Affairs(the official Chinese Govt Office). This was a document that was prepared WAYYY back in May when we got our match. Both of us had totally forgotten about this part. It has to be delivered to the CCAA at the moment when the USA stuff was ready.. because this is what China uses to give us permission to travel. So.. I talked to our agency Monday and it seems China got it.. and they got a copy but it was a really crappy one so they couldn't see the date. So... as of yesterday our agency was gonna take a shot at requesting our US Consulate appt for Sept 7 or 8. Can't do it the 6th because that's Labor day.. and well they are a Govt Agency and they are closed. Figures our luck.. yet again!
SO.. I didn't call today, figured CCAI(Our agency) would call us if there was any news. But she did say that sometimes it takes a day or two for the Consulate to get back to them. Anway i'm thinking.. ok hoping we know tomorrow. We REALLY REALLY need to get plane tickets.. then start working out bird/house sitting!!

IT's been rush rush rush.. then Wait..............wait.............wait..... rush rush rush... We are in one of those Wait moments now. with a serious rush rush coming. I think we finally have all the silly things we need. power converters, plug thingys.. we bought a cute MP3 player for music on the plane, books. I need to see what's out there to download to my Kindle. This weekend we are going to get the suitcase down from the attick and get packing. fun fun.. it feels like the home stretch.. I just hope that it really is the home stretch!

Oh. WE went to the Magic Kingdom last Saturday night to see the Summertastic.. whatever fireworks and the Electrical Light Parade(ELP). Saw the parade from a great perspective. RIght at the end of Main Street at the Hub.. the circular area in front of the castle. It was neat to have the floats come right towards ya and then turn.


Also we got a Mickey ears for all three of us and plan on bringing them to China and trying to get a great shot. Maybe our Christmas card picture??? would be fun.

Here they are...... funny thing is they are three sizes.. papa, mama and baby bear sizes!


So there ya go. Hoping we have a date..
