Pink looks good on 6 yr old boys

We got our e pink about 2:45 MST today!!! I was the only one home but I did the happy dance all over my living room. You would have thought I won a million dollars but this is something money can not buy!!

Our appointment is 1/18/08 at 8:30 am with visa pick up on 1/22/08. I such a nervous bundle of energy. I forgot all about hotel reservations till my hubby mentioned it a couple of minutes ago.

This has been a long time comming. We will pick up our son exactly 21 months to the day that we started this process. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you still waiting. God Bless You. Vicki

could someone help me. I quess because I adopted domestically I don't know all the terminalogy used in international adoption. I thought when everyone said "PINK" they meant they were getting a girl. Is that correct? I am begining to wonder. Everyone is surely not adoption girls. If that sounded stupid sorry, please educate me.
