Look and See Who Has Stolen Our Hearts Forever!
Reintroducing the Best Big Sista and World Traveler Ever!
We left at 6:30 this morning for our US Embassy appointment and returned to our casa at 9:15. Marissa did great and she is ours forever and ever!!! I cried tears of relief and joy! It is an amazing feeling! I thanked and praised God as soon as the final stamp was stamped saying "APPROVED"!
In less than 48 hours we will be on a plane in route to Marissa's new and forever casa. We show her pictures of the house, backyard, her room and all her brothers and sisters including Maggie, of course. She seems to understand that we will be going in an airplane to her new casa.
Lauren stayed at the casa with Melody while we were at the Embassy. Her first break from parents in three weeks. We teased her that we were going to go to camp with her next week too and sleep in her tent with her and her friends. She actually said that would be fine as long as we didn't embarass her! Well, that rules me out right away!!!
We are starting to pack and get ready for home. Boys, the house MUST be spotless by 2pm Wednesday any evidence of any misbehaving must be removed from the premises. I want to come home believing you were my darling angels while we were away!!!! Which of course, I am sure you were!!! :) :) I love you so much and can't wait to see you!

Welcome Home!! I can hear the joy and feel the tears you cried. I am soooo happy that all went well and that all is finished. Prayed that it wld be with the elders at church on Sunday. God is so gracious. I also prayed for a safe flight home. Can't wait to see Marissa. We are also packing as we leave Tues Am. Hope to see when we get back on the 20th of July. Til then my amigos, Que Dios los bendiga y los triga con bien a su casa. G
