November!

Got an urgent page from Rick at work, in the middle of a meeting. He added 911 to our phone number, so I knew I had to call right away. He asked if i was sitting down. I said 'no', and my heart started pounding as his tone was so serious. I thought 'what's happened to Savannah?', he asked me again, and my next thought was, ok, she must be alright, he's not rushing her to Emerg. Did the adoption fall through? I said no again, that i wasn't in a place where i could sit down. Then, the news: a call from Children's Bridge saying our letters of invitation are in! And we're likely to travel November 4 or 5th. I wanted to jump for joy! What did i do? I said that was fantastic, rang off, and went right back to my meeting. Inside, my heart soared, and when the time came to talk about who was to cover me during my absence, I announced my happy news! And on my way home, I called everybody I could think to call. Yippee!

I can hardly believe this day has come. Almost 2 years to the day from our travel for Savannah. We're coming, Tanje! with open arms and open hearts. I looked at the calendar, thinking ok, we still have over 3 weeks at work, and 4 weekends between now and our trip. NOT! 3 weeks, on the dot! Wow! Lots to do between now and then, but oh, so exciting! Viet Nam, here we come! Little Tanje, we'll be there soon!
