We're home!

Our trip home was pretty uneventful. We had a 3 hour layover in Chicago. It wasn’t so bad; we had dinner at Chili’s and just sort of hung out. The flights were pretty full, but still not uncomfortable. We had a really close call in Atlanta on the way to Miami, we nearly missed our connection. That was about the only “problem”. I chatted a little with one of my seatmates, she was an older lady who was returning from a tour in Germany. I told her that hopefully the next time I flew I’d be on my way to Eastern Europe to pick up my new son.

It’s good to be home. I realized that this weekend was the longest I’ve ever been away from Olivia. I have NO idea HOW I’ll make it for 5-6 weeks! I know I will, and I am very willing, but I also know that I will MISS them like crazy when I’m gone to bring Timothy home.

Still nothing in the mail box today from USCIS. I know you all are probably getting tired of my whining about that. It’s just so frustrating though. I’ve called, and left messages, and emailed, and Officer Merck has not returned any of my calls, he only does that from 1:30-2:30 daily, and no answers to emails. I am beginning to think that his “I plan to be done processing your application by the end of this week” was just him saying what he thought I wanted to hear. I wish I could check it online, but it’s never showed up. Sigh… I emailed the Senator’s office again today too. Maybe they can get an answer for us.

In the meantime, I'm going to be baking like crazy tomorrow for our bake sale/rummage sale this Saturday. I also need to go to the newspaper to get the ad in for the weekend.

Please bless our efforts Lord, help us to make a lot of money, you know our need. Hold Timothy tightly in your arms until we can get there to hold him ourselves. Amen.
