GET READY................

AYANA'S VISA IS DONE AND IS BEING SENT TO ADDIS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an e-mail from the HC this AM and I just screamed!!!!!! Ellie yelled from the other room, "What! What!" I yelled, "GUESS WHAT??!!" And she said, "Her visa is in?!!!!" And I screamed, "YES!!!!" And she ran to me crying and we both hugged and cried and cried and hugged. It was a beautiful moment. She then sat on my lap while I e-mailed and tried to get ahold of Regan (who is in Van). She said, "I think I am going to be a really good big sister." And I said, "Ellie, I KNOW you will!". She then phoned her best friend and told her excitedly. It is so special to me beyond words that she is this excited. It warms my heart, and is an answer to my prayers.

SO anywho!!! If I get MY way (LOL), we will be leaving on Wednesday the 16th of Jan and arrive back on Wed the 22nd. SHE WILL BE HOME IN TWO WEEKS!!!! The flights are REALLY good, and it just depends on when Regan thinks it is good timing because of his job. I think next week is better as he will be prepping, and then he would miss the first few days of shooting. But quite frankly, we said all along that if we got her visa in the beginning of his job that we would scrap the movie and focus on our daughter.

SO BEYOND EXCITED AND EMOTIONAL AND SHAKEY HANDS!!!!!

THANK YOU ST. JUDE FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED!!!
