Finally!!! PINK!!!!!!

Hi Forum Friends!!!

Finally we got our PINK notice today!!! Looks like they had the wrong email address and they tried to send it last Thursday. Our appointment is NEXT Tuesday, March 18th at 7:15 am #6!!!!!!

What makes this extra cool is that our wedding anniversary is Wednesday, March 19th!!! Can you think of any better way to celebrate??? I can't!!!

Thanks to all of you for your friendship and support through this process! Dreams do come true!!!!!

Already sent you an email! You know I'm thrilled for you! Everyone always says hosting a pity party on here seems to bring quick results. I'm glad it worked for you!

Update your signature to include your Pink & HOME dates, girlie! I can't wait to meet her!
