Paper Chase Complete!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been busy over here.  

Today we turned in the paperwork for our placing agency. Feels so wonderful to (finally!) have it on it's merry way!!!!!!!!  It took much longer than I wanted since the holidays had our college and Hubby's dr's office closed and I had poor planning on my part. But it's done and I couldn't be happier!


Sending off our papers..............
   We also have sent out Happy New Year cards with a letter officially announcing our adoption to our dear family and friends. I am so over the moon excited I could burst!! I also feel relieved and feel a huge weight lifted because I have been dying to share our news for a long time.  I have loved the texts and messages we have received from people sharing their happiness with us.  I plan on telling the staff at my school shortly since some people know and I would rather the staff hear it from me than others. Also, some more great fantastic news, Hubby called our placing agency to ask about our travel date..sounds like they are pretty confident we will travel in 2013 and 2014 is not even on their radar. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!

  I also started back to school this week...longest short week ever.  Funny enough I find myself thinking about our baby and what we need to do rather than school stuff......which is a major change and I am so glad.  Although Hubby seems to just wish I would fall asleep instead of talking!!!!! That has not changed.

  I also started an adoption blog which I had been toying with the idea for awhile now....if you would like to check it out, send me an email at ushi311 at gmail dot com or leave your email below.  I'd be happy to have your support there as well.  It isn't set on private as of now, but I would rather leave it sort of private and not share the url on this blog.

Hope your new year is going as well as mine!!!!!! Lots of exciting things happening for some of you too!!
