So Long, Dossier!!!!

IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!! I spent a long time this morning at the Secretary of State office, where they state sealed 26 of our dossier documents. Then I spent a lot more time at Kinkos making 4 copies of our completed dossier packet (364 copies, total). Collating, stapling, checking, re-checking, and checking again to make sure everything was perfect. Then the big moment... I dropped it of at Bethany headquarters! It was all very anti-climactic (as people told me it would be), but it sure feels good to have it done and out of my hands. The next step is for HQ to send it to Washington D.C. for authentication. Then it will make it's way over to Ethiopia. I'm hoping the rest of the processing goes quickly! I'd really like to have a September DTE (Date To Ethiopia).

So, this all leads to the big announcement that you've all been waiting for.......................

WE'RE "PAPER PREGNANT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
