Whew, what a day! I got up late to go to an appointment, and my phone rang at 8:42am. It was Brigitte, our stateside helper with Reece's Rainbow. I almost couldn't believe it when she said, "What do you want to be doing on May 19th?" REALLY?! We want to be in Micah's country of course :) We are so excited. This is a week sooner than we expected!
I ran to my appointment, then had lunch with one of my dear friends, then rushed home to get Fischer and take his friends home, then took him to work, then came back home to post this blog. It's almost 3pm here, and I've known for 6 1/2 hours. What an exciting whirlwind of emotions. It's like I'm 7 months pregnant, and I finally have a due date! Thurdsay, May 19th at 11am we will be interviewing with the SDA (State Department of Adoptions) to tell them why we want to adopt Micah. The next day we will get our referral to meet him, then we will most likely meet him on Monday, May 23rd unless we get a same-day referral or an early referral on Friday. Then court will be 3-4 weeks after that.
I was sitting quietly alone waiting at my appointment and all of a sudden it hit me: I will be holding my son in less than a month! Happy tears... I am really so excited this moment is finally here. We will be traveling in 2 1/2 weeks! I almost can't believe it... time to start packing and organizing. FINALLY!!!!! :D
**I should put a disclaimer that our house is not going to be vacant :) We have friends who will be housesitting while they are remodeling their house... yea!**
