Wahoooooooooo!

Our final document, the approval! from! Homeland! Security!, came while we were in Indianapolis, once again proving, a watched mailbox never delivers!

We had been hoping the document would come before we went to Indianapolis, because then we could take a little side trip up to Chicago, where the Chinese consulate is, to drop off the dossier in person. Chicago is only about 3 or 4 hours from Indy. Anyway, it didn't come in time. Doug's been so hard-at-work these past coupla years anyway, he was hesistant to take any more time off. So all for the best. But taking our mind off of mailbox watching was good for us.

We had a wonderful, relaxing, well-fed, game-playing time with Amy, David, Michael and Claire. Side note: we think our pup Nick is pretty awesome, but he definitely has competition with their dogs Margo and Neigh-Neigh (haha - horsey spelling). They are german shepherd and border collie. Majorly cool dogs.

But wait, I digress . . . SO our new plan for tomorrow is to get the immigration document notarized, then make our 3rd trek downtown to the Secretary of State's office to get it Certified, then back home to pack up the completed dossier to ship off to Chicago, the Chinese Consulate!! Wow wow wow! We're so close!!

Oh, and the original plan for tomorrow was to start building a room off the attics of both upstairs rooms. Seriously.
