Happy 1 Year Anniversery

Today is our 1 year anniversery of our LID. Our paperwork was officially logged into China on this date last year. At the time it was supposed to be a 6 month wait, but as you know, it has turned into a 14 to 15 month wait. (We hope).

Today we are expecting our referral to come at the end of January or February. Traveling to China in March or April.

How do I feel about it? Good and Bad.

Good, because we are that much closer, we won't travel in the middle of winter and i may have some of the summer off.

Bad, because it has been 1 year, with another possibly 4 months to wait until we see her face, and I really don't want to face another holiday season without her. But we need to be positive and look on the brightside. We are getting closer.

Today we took a ride into Boston and had our fingerprints done again. They run out on November 6th. It was a fast trip as there wasn't too many people there.

We also have a dinner planned with some people from my adoption agency. I am so looking forward to meeting these people. Right now they are going through the same thing i am, and it is nice to commiserate with someone. I will be sure to post pictures.

We are celebrating the night by ordering Chinese Food and having a quiet night. Let's hope we won't be celebrating next year without our Katy.
