Praise God we are OUT of PGN!!!!!!!!

Before I even go into all the details I want to say thank you to all of those who have been a HUGE source of encouragement and love during this process. I could NOT have made it without all of you and my heart is breaking for those of you who are still waiting on that special call. I know how it feels to read about other OUTS and being so happy for those people...yet wanting it sooooo bad to be YOUR OUT.

Now that I have said all of that here is the scoop! We got THE CALL at 12:20 pm today. I am still in a state of shock over the entire thing to be honest. I dreamed about what this moment would feel like. God is sooooo good. We are being submitted for a Villa Nueva BC and our agency said we will travel in about 4 weeks.

Many Hugs and prayers for all of you still waiting for that magical call!
