WE ARE GOING TO THAILAND!!!!!!!!

I no sooner hit the publish button on the last post when my cell phone rang. WACAP. Oh my gosh, I thought. Could this really be it? IT IS!!! I mean, IT WAS! Kate got our To Whom Letter and we are going to the September 23rd board meeting!!!!!! I can hardly believe it. I am so amazed that this moment has finally come! We are SO happy right now that words can not really define it. Jeff just said yesterday that he felt we were gonna get the call early this week and be at that meeting. He was right! Poor Kate, I let out a shriek so loud, I think I nearly deafened her! I cried, then laughed, then cried again. Jeff heard me yelp and ran downstairs. He knew. We are soooo happy! In just 3 short weeks we are going to be holding our dear sweet child! It's just too incredible for words. 
Gotta go make calls, look for flights and start packing! OMG, we are packing for Thailand!!!!!!!

Congratulations! We are so very excited for you. I know how long you have waited to receive word of travel and how anxious you must be to travel to be with Miss Ruby. I cannot wait to hear about your first meeting and see those precious Ruby lips once again. She is an absolute doll and I am so thankful that she will finally be united with her family.

Much love coming your way!!
