Thumbs up It's Summer Time!!!

Well, I was WAY off on their court time - I thought it was at 1:00 but it was at 9:30 - bottom line is:

CAN EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING
STAND UUUUUUP
AND DO THE YIPPY-SKIPPY HAPPY DANCE!!!



Yes, I just talked to Rainy - court is over, everything went great, for once she was totally SPEECHLESS!!! They are on their way RIGHT NOW to get Summer from the orphanage!!! Thank you, God!!! Our prayers have been answered!!

Rainy did say that she would like prayers for some special circumstances. She can't go into detail now, but will at a later date.

Another happy ending . . .

PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I was WAAAAAAYY off on the court time - I'm sooooooorrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy!!
