Official Travel Dates!

Official Travel Dates!!  19 days before we leave!!  Eeekkkk!

The official email came this morning.  It said to buy plane tickets for April 25th to May 5th!

That means that 1 month from this very morning, we will be waking up in our home, for this 1st day of the rest of our lives, as a family!

Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions:

Yes, it has taken a long time - we started last January 2014 - about 15 months ago.
Yes, you would think that it would happen faster..... but it doesn't!
Yes, we have to be over there for 10 days to complete her physical exam, TB test, and embassy interview.  That's just how it works.
No, we were not over there on March 24th, when the judge granted the adoption.  That was just the team of lawyers from the agency.
Yes, I think we have everything we need, for now.
No, I don't know what size clothes she's going to wear.
No, she doesn't walk yet.
No, she doesn't speak English, but she doesn't speak Bulgarian either, so I think we'll be ok!
Yes, you will all get to meet the munchkin at some point soon!  We are thinking about having a "welcome home" party around the end of June.

Aside from the chaos of being a mom for the first time, I am also in the midst of my busy season with work.  All the horses need their spring vaccines between mid-April and mid-June.  If you don't hear from me, please assume that I appreciate your call, and I will try to call you back before July! :)

Thank you for all being as excited as we are!
