Dossier to China!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like cold water to a weary soul, is good news from a distant land.
----Proverbs 25:25
I stumbled into work this morning, coffee in hand, ready for an average Friday.
But Lo and Behold..............When I opened my e-mail, there IT WAS!
A message from CCAI stating that my Dossier was sent to China 2 days ago. I didn't even realize it had gone to translation yet!
Im going to TRY not to wish away the next 6 months, but to enjoy the anticipation and preparation. I get to work on my nursery and 100 good wishes quilt, resume the china nights (if I dare), and start training to hike THE GREAT WALL for goodness sakes!
In honor of being DTC, I found a poem for you Amelia,
KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are....whats taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you, and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin....
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in his hands until I can be with you
I promise you, my baby, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend
But for tonight as always, I blow you kisses on the wind.
My God wrap you in his arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Congratulations!!!

What a wonderful feeling it is to have that stack of papers off to CCAA. It's hard not to wish away the time, but with the holidays coming there is a lot to keep you busy!

Not to say I told you so, or anything so childish, but remember on the 19th, when I said "Bet that they get it sent to China closer to 10 days, rather than the 15. Let's celebrate!!" Well, I was correct...and aren't you happy that I was!!!

Congrats!
See you tomorrow.
