We're taking the plunge!

We decided to go ahead and book our trip BEFORE getting our PINK email! I know it is a little risky, but we feel it's worth it. I have confirmation that our DNA is at the FED EX location in Guatemala City and will be delivered on Monday morning. I also got confirmation from the Embassy that they have everything they need, they are just waiting on the DNA to issue our appointment. So....we are flying out on OCTOBER 5th!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited, I can't believe the time is here!
We decided to stay at the Westin!

Congratulations!!

I bet you are right on the money. I bet you get PINK on Tuesday or it's possible for Monday late afternoon with an appointment either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I probably would have done the same!!

Yay!! Only a few days and you will be with your little one forever!!
