The Big Brown Envelope!

I really didn't think we were going to get the elusive Big Brown Envelope but sure enough on March 25th it arrived in all it's brown glory! There were official looking documents in there that had mostly to do with visas and a map of Shaimen Island. We also got a letter stating that they had all our paperwork and that they would see us soon!!! Soon can't come SOON enough! We also got our GUZ # which is your case file # that recognizes you regarding the adoption.

I have emailed the # to Harrahs and they have it on file now. That is it...nothing more to do or wait for until referral.

Nothing new and exciting going on lately...the weather is getting nice and hot finally. It got into the 90's already and we were still in March...what a BIG change from freezing miserable NJ.

Our next big day will come on May 29th as we depart to Jamaica,Cozumel Mexico and Grand Caymen via a Carnival Cruise. The boys are so excited as they have never been on one before and they are chomping at the bit...but there is still almost a whole 2 months to go before that. School ends around the same time and my brother's wedding is on Friday May 20th. I will be attending by myself as it just wouldn't be possible for all of us to go. After we return from the Cruise A ndrew, Kyle's best friend from NJ, is coming for the summer. Kyle can't wait to see his pal.
That is all for now...hopefully we will have some pictures to post soon.
