Our file is finally moving forward YEH !!!!!

I have been in touch with our Agency off & on trying to get our file moved forward & they have been working on doing this & finally today, I got a call at work. I was not expecting this & it came as a shock to me when she said who she was. We had advised them that we were willing to pay an expedited fee if we can be guaranteed that our file would move forward right away. Anjali told me when she called around 10:30 this morning that they could guarantee that our dossier would be sent to Kazakstan within the next 10 days. She added that once our file is in Kazakhstan to count 4 months then we would get ready to travel to meet our child. I cannot explain the emotions I felt at that time. Well, I will try, I was excited (of the great news), scared (of the reality of the upcoming long trip), rushed (go to the bank for the draft & post office to courier it), overwhelmed (I shared the news with friends & my mother in Law but not the most important ones like Sean & Josh as one is in a meeting all day & the other one is at school). It is a great news for us as our file has been in Ottawa since February 4, 2008 (almost 1 year). Right now I can only imagine what age she would be & what she would look like & if we are looking at the same stars at night wondering if we will ever meet. Isn't it funny, Everyone that knows me knows that I am all about Tinker Bell & her bedroom if full of things with TinkerBell. 2 days ago I bought a TinkerBell tree decoration that I did not want to buy until she was here & I saw it & thought about her & got it anyway. I guess that is a way we can have her with us at Christmas is with this little ferie who can dance in her dreams for us. I will do another update once we have an update & told that our file has been sent to Kazakhstan.

In the meantime, enjoy the snow & the cold. We will be snowmobiling this weekend no matter how cold it will be. Isn't it why they invented hot chocolate & hot tatty (spelling).
