Here's hoping for a PINK week!!!

I have never been so anxious for the weekend to be over. We are hoping that this week is a PINK one- course I am not even sure that we have our GCBC yet...
Anyone else out there waiting for PINK??? I think I am just going to bake some Christmas cookies and some Christmas carols to pass the time. Actually, I should be doing but what fun is that?
Oh, and DH's birthday is this week, so we will also be eating. No candle lighting here, don't want to set the house on fire.( don't tell him I said that)

We are also praying/hoping for PINK this week. They were supposed to pick up our BC from Mixco on Friday. If that has happened our agency told us to expect to be submitted for PINK sometime this week!!!!

We also happily rushed through yet another weekend!! I will be soooo glad when we can enjoy our weekends again instead of wishing for Monday!! LOL

Here is hoping for lots of pretty PINKS this week!!!

Hey Girls,

We are waiting to hear news about being submitted for PINK too. We are keeping busy this weekend. There's always so much to do this time of year.

Good luck everyone!

Hi all-
Add one more to the waiting for PINK list! We received a copy of the baby's Guatemalan passport and they should have our I 600s and our notarized passports, so I am hoping that we hear this week too....

So that begs the question, where will you all plan on staying?!!

Best wishes and Happy Holidays!

Me too.....I am hoping that our Antigua BC is received (it is suppose to be very quick and we have been there for 5 days already) and we then get our passport and translation done, with enough time so by Fridays update...we hear we made it to the embassy...Is all this too much to hope for????

My fingers, toes and eyes are crossed for pink this week! I already have tickets for Sunday evening so I hope we don't have to change them!

Every single piece of laundry will be done by the end of the evening, the babies bag is packed...just have to get a few things, and I have started on mine. I will be cleaning out the refridgerator tomorrow night. The DH will just have to eat what's available...because I'm done cleaning for the week! (He's fairly used to that anyway!)

My sister is getting married on Saturday, so this week will be busy! I was kind of hoping that I would have to miss it and be in GUA on Thursday or Friday...Shhh...don't tell her!

Here's to a spectaulary PINK week!

I'm hoping, although, in reality, it's a bit soon.

I am a little concerned about the hotel thing. I am hoping that we can get a room this close to Christmas. I haven't called or anything yet as we don't know when we will need a room for. Anyway, I have a tent if needed

We're waiting on pink too. Of course we're still waiting on our GC BC, but our agency seems pretty confident that that will come really soon. I can't believe this process is finally coming to an end, and our baby will be coming home soon! It seems so unreal!!

I hope all us pink and BC waiters get good news this week, and get those kids home for the holidays!

(And oh yeah, that we all find a place to stay . . .)
