L!O!A!

The long awaited piece of paper arrived this week. It was surreal since we have been waiting so long for this paper. Betty called on Tuesday morning at a little after 9 am, and before noon we were in Evansville picking up the LOA, and mailing it to Lewisville, TX.

I am excited to report that our documents made it to USCIS (US Immigration by 9:58 am on Wednesday!) We do not want to waste any time that we could be squeezing our little boy!

So, at last the end to the LOA wait... 4 and a half months (140 days to be exact)!

On a side note: I really thought the LOA was coming on Monday, so I was pretty down in the dumps on Monday night...thinking HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE, LORD? Then, I was so wishing for the LOA on Tuesday that I actually opened up Audrie's scanned LOA and just looked it it, then commented to my work study that I needed to have my phone on my desk today. Soon after, the phone rang. God is GOOD!

Most commonly asked question for the last 8 and a half months.... "When do you get to go get him?"
Finally, we have a fairly accurate approximation: we can expect approximately 3 more months until Travel. So, we are thinking probably March.

Oh, Jax, we are gonna get you soon!

AND, I forgot to add the fact that it was SNOWING like crazy on our way to Evansville, roads actually oddly....got slick. By the time we left Evansville, it was all clear and roads were just wet. We were determined to move that paper on and nothing was stopping us!
