Talking Hard to think...cause I've got PINK!!

WAHOO!! Got the call this morning that I got PINK yesterday...on Nick's 9 month b-day!!! Funny thing is, the date on the appointment slip is October 29th...a SUNDAY!! Now, I know they're behind on their paperwork down there, but I highly doubt that they are working Sundays!! I sent them an email informing them of the clerical error, and told them I'll be there bright and early on the 30th!!

So, we'll be home one day shy of a year since starting this process...Thank the Lord!!

For those interested...I was OUT on October 5th but was not told all of the other milestones. It was a GCBC though, so things must be moving.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!
