About Time!! FINALLY a SWI - 6 months later.
Yes, 6 months, 3,000 gray hairs, and 40 gallons of merlot later, my Slow Attorney has finally procured a SWI. It's next Thursday - I finally get to join all the fun with the Guatemalan government!!
I'm leaving tomorrow early in the morning to see my sweet little Amelia - now look at my avatar - that precious face is definitely worth waiting for, but DANG, people. Six months to get a SWI??? That's craziness. Now when we eventually get into PGN, if I get out in 10 days, I can post that and nobody is allowed to get snarky, ya hear!  We're staying at the Crown Plaza - if anybody is going to be there - look for us! We'll be there 10/18-1/21. I'll be the one *not* screaming at my Slow Attorney since she finally got the ball rolling.

So happy for you - you deserve it and a short stay in PGN. I'm right behind you on the grey hair and merlot - adoption will do it to you!
