Ladies & Gentlemen, the news you've all been waiting for....

That's right....We're OUT!!!!!
I got the call Monday at 4:21pm (4:21 on 4/21, cool, huh?) Anyway, just wanted to announce that yes, Ursula will be coming home soon, after thinking it was never going to happen for us. I'm still in shock...happy that we are finally nearing the finish line, but freaking out about all the things I need to do! Of course, I am pretty prepared, but anyone who knows me, knows that I will find about 500 more things to do before she comes home. Luckily for Steve, there are no rooms in my house that need redone yet, that's usually what I do, and I end up tearing it all apart only to run out of time and have it a mess, however, it IS Spring now and the yard could use some work.....
So for everyone's information, this is what we know: Ursula's birth certificate needs to obtained (with our last name!), we are hoping to get that in a few days (the municipality she was born in usually takes several weeks in issuing BC's, but we paid extra to rush it), then she gets her 2nd DNA test done to prove she is still the same baby (DUH!), then the results go to the Embassy who issues us our "pink slip" or Embassy appointment which we have to take her to in Guatemala. We will probably get about a weeks notice to book our trip and get down there, so needless to say, I'll probably be packed next week :) We are estimating that from this point, we will travel in about a month or so, but as we all have seen, nothing is a guarantee, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. We should be able to bring her home sometime around her 1st birthday, and that would be awesome! I will post as I know more and try to keep you up to date, however, I might not know too much until we get closer to "pink".
We are hoping to have an open house weekend soon after we get home so anyone who wants to can drop by to meet The Princess in person. We hope to see you all very soon.....
