Feeling Closer
Hey Everyone,
No major news tonight, just wanted to write a quick note to say hi and express some thoughts (guys have thoughts, not emotions!).
It's been three weeks now since the First Ruling. We could literally hear that the Second Ruling is in at any time, though another couple of weeks would not be surprising. Heather and I have a feeling that it's eminent, but that could come from the fact that there are still several things we need to do to finish getting ready.
There's paperwork to fill out, letters to notarize, fees to pay, bags to pack and travel to arrange (though the arrangements can't really be made until we get the Second Ruling). We're also hoping and praying that the passport office can process Heather's aunt's passport quickly. We've decided it is best for Heather to stay home with Anna while I travel to pick up Ian. So Heather's Aunt Barbara has decided to step in and help out on the trip. But she didn't have a passport, so that's been ordered and expedited, and hopefully we'll have it in two weeks or less. (isn't government efficiency an oxymoron?). I guess we should pray more than hope!
So here I sit, alone in a hotel room in Annapolis, MD on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, waiting for a simple phone call that says we can travel halfway around the world to pick up our son. Isn't life surprising sometimes? God certainly has a path for us!
Check back often (or add it to My Yahoo!) for the latest and greatest news! I hope to publish blog postings and pictures throughout the trip. And if technology won't cooperate, I'll surely post them after the fact! This is the place to go to find out first (or second...you know what I mean!).
Thanks as always,
James
