in-n-OUT!!!!

AAAHHHHH!!!!!!! WE'RE OUT!!!!! WE'RE OUT!!!!! WE'RE OUT!!!!! Oh my gosh, I am so excited right now!!!! I knew it would happen eventually, but it was still hard to imagine, with how long a difficult this whole thing has been. We are having a garage sale for my brother and sister-in-law or their adoption, and I was there helping out when my phone rang. It was a number I didn't recognize. When I answered and it was our agency, I got nervous because I know another family who, when they got out of PGN, the agency emailed them, so the fact they were calling made me nervous. She said, "I just wanted to let you know, there was a fax waiting for us when we got in this morning saying you guys are out of PGN." I instantly started bawling. She was like, "Are you ok?" and I said (in choking sobs), "Yes. I'm just really happy." I am still shaking from it! I can't believe it!!! I thought it we were almost 8 weeks into PGN, but this morning I added it up and realized it was actually only almost 7 (evidently I can't add), so I was gearing myself up to wait a little longer than I thought. I am so relieved and thankful and happy, I can't even tell you!!! WooooHOOOOO!!!!!

I am so thrilled for you guys! And especially for Shiloh, who is getting closer and closer to coming home to live with her very own mommy and daddy! She is going to be so blessed by all these people who love her already.

You'll have to keep this blog active till she's old enough to read the comments from all of the people who have prayed and hoped and cried for her to come home to you.

Happy tears, thankful prayers, crossed fingers for a quick PINK!
