I keep hoping to hear something - if we're there, we are game.

I have told myself all along that the best Christmas present EVER was getting out of PGN so quick - but it wouldn't hurt if he were home for Christmas , if not, I know I'm still very blessed.

We were submitted at the end of last week, plan on staying at the marriott and will be up for a celebration!

Meanwhile, I found out my mom has to go in for angioplasty this Thursday - please pray for her. I wanted to be in Guatemala this week, bringing our daughter home, but I guess thigns work in strange ways and we were menat to be at home this week, supporting my mom.

Will keep in touch once we hear our PINK news.

THANKS

It looks like we will be there also. We are going to be picking up our Bianca. Does anyone know where they will be staying? We usually stay at the Marriott but I do not know if they are booked at the point. Hope to see some of you there. Rita, Chris and Bianca

Hi everyone.....looks like we have the makings of a nice size party if all goes as planned. I know we wont be staying at the Marriott (our agency doesn't allow us there) but we can coordinate all of that stuff once we all hear our news. My agency said we are suppose to find out by tomorrow (I am praying) and if all goes well.....THE PARTY IS ON!!!!!

Rita...how funny both Bianca's getting out in 1 week...maybe the same day...how funny would that be!

Lisa....Girl, I would even empty out one of our suitcase and stay SEMI naked if I could take you with me!!!! Love YA!

Anyone else planning a trip to Guatemmala next week???
