Hallejuah, Carolun!!! WOO-HOO

I will see at Casa Grande...I talked to Freddy tonight & got my room. Our embassy appointments are on the same day (the 27th).

And Matthews mom/Susie, I look forward to meeting you too......I see you were PINK and you didn't know it. I'll be the slightly scared looking older mom with an adorable little girl with curls/waves in her hair.
