Still in Shock---Can't Believe I turned into a PINK Grapefruit
On Wednesday 5/14 I turned into a PINK grapefruit when I got my Embassy appointment!!! I was in so much shock I couldn't even post.
My appt is Tuesday 5/27 at 7:15 (Number 9 in the line if I am reading it right)  Still in shock at how quick it happened after DNA test. The test was on 5/7 and my agency uses Orchid Cellmark as the lab. I never even called the lab to try to find out where DNA results were.....found out today that the results were signed by the lab on 5/13. Somehow they got to Guatemala in time to turn me into a PINK grapefruit by the end of the day!! So it's time for the  and the dancing bananas, I am going to Guatemala but this time I get to bring her home with me!!!

Yay Susy....Congratulations! I met you briefly at the Casa Grande in March when you got out of PGN. I was the one laughing at your baby sleeping on the table in the computer room. Was so cute! I will be at the Casa Grande again the week of May 26th. So happy for you.

Hi, Trina / jttcook...
I remember -- It was funny to have the baby sleeping on the computer table but when I get excited I do strange things....
I'm going back to Casa Grande I hope (no reservation yet) & we will be there the same time so we can visit more. Quote:
