Now WHAT???

So the mad paper rush is over, my dossier is safely in the arms of my Facilitator.... so now what??? I still have plenty to do I suppose.... Work, Baby Gage, Fundraising..... It seems odd not to be in constant stress mode and rushing to get things done for our Dossier. I suppose I could pull myself together! I have completely fallen apart in the appearance category, lol! Someone forgot to tell me I would begin to see things like nail polish, tweezing and getting my hair done as unnecessary and time consuming during adoption. Once my Dossier was mailed it was as if the fog cleared and the mirror revealed one scary, tired, un-kept mama! So maybe this weekend I will take care of me? I will never return to the appearance obsessed life I had before Christ opened my eyes to things that matter. However, I do think I will tweeze these eyebrows before I frighten the baby! :)  ...............and then? I think maybe I will just take a moment to catch my breath and enjoy my beautiful baby boy.

WOO HOO!!!!!

We received our APPROVAL LETTER in the mail today!!!! (:  and celebrated with some serious high fiving and a glass of Merlot! The USCIS approval was a stress trigger for me, I have no idea why!? Many people have said the fundraising is the most stressful, I guess being in marketing I actually find that fun! Tomorrow we drive our dossier to Tallahassee Florida and have everything apostle'd and sent to our Facilitator in Ukraine. This will be another stressful time for me .... waiting to be sure everything arrives safely in her hands! Praying our Heavenly Father delivers it safely....

More waiting!

We are still waiting for the actual approval letter!!! Argh! This process is not for the impatient! My dossier is complete and we are simply waiting on the VERY LAST, but most important Approval Letter!!! I WILL have it before the end of the week and then it will be driven to Tallahassee to be apostlized. It will be mailed to Ukraine that same day and then................... we wait!!! lol!
