LOA TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's dance around the Maypole with the ladybugs!!!


WE FINALLY RECEIVED OUR LETTER OF APPROVAL (LOA) TODAY!!!


YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Celebrate!!!


We actually received an email from our agency today saying that they received our LOA- so now they will FedEx the hard copy to us, and we should receive it tomorrow... we have to sign it and FedEx it back to them- then, when they receive it from us, they send it off to the CCAA! When they receive news from the CCAA that it's been received, that will be our OFFICIAL LOA DATE.

I got another e-mail from my agency saying Travel Packet II will be available tonight from my agency's website, so I will begin working on that tonight! (It's a packet we download that our agency provides- it gives us steps to follow to prepare for our travel to China!)

Our agency says they estimate our travel to be within 5-8 weeks!

I'm soooooooo excited!!!!!!

NOT LONG NOW!
Hold on baby girl- we're coming to get you soon!!!!

Awesome! Oh what wonderful news! What DEVINE PROVIDENCE! I don't know how you will fall asleep tonight with all the thoughts racing through your mind! What an exciting week it has been. A roller coaster ride for you guys, I am sure. I love the lemon tree! Sweet Bebe Boo Kelly has an incredibly loving and Spirit lead family waiting to go and bring her home. I just know that the Lord is preparing her little heart and spirit for the bonding to come, with her Mommy, Daddy, Caleb and Camryn. The littlest Princess is coming home, soon!

I can't do a pink yahoo on a blog comment, but you know I'm thinking it. Now, you only have about 2 million things to get done in a couple of months - isn't it weird how that inspires a frantic feeling that STILL feels SO much better than waiting?!
Love You,
Jen

Dear Jen,

I am so excited for all of you!! What a wonderful blessing all of this is and a great example of God giving us "the desires of our heart." Way back at the beginning you probably did not even realize you had this desire, yet God knew. He is so gracious! Miss you and love you.
