SHE IS READY

Sandra is ready to cross the border..Now I am not..I still have to go to mexican immigration in the morning and turn in Hap's and my tourist visas...I got up and went to the Embassy this morning and called before I left and they said come on..Thank God that the lady checked the visa before giving it to me because one of the numbers was wrong...SO I sat for a couple of hours while that was fixed and then came back and got Sandra and headed to US immigration to turn in the package that came with her visa...I was told maybe an hour or two...Try 4 and half..There were right at 100 people doing the same thing (not adoption but visas) and only two homeland officers working and half way thru...one went home...We did it anyway and she is ready..But we ran out of time to do mine and Hap's so tomorrow...We did some goodbyes tonight..and just a few tomorrow and we will be ready to head over on Saturday..Noe,Qwens son who comes to eat on Thursday, hung out with us tonight..We did the goodbyes and then went for pizza...I really think Noe is gonna miss us..He asked if he could come and hang out again tomorrow..and I said Yes..I am gonna miss him...He and his mom are praying that he will be able to head over by Christmas..He is such a good kid..Oh yea..The heater I bought last night will not heat the downstairs..I left it on all night and was still very cold..So I moved it upstairs for the small bedroom..I thought it would heat downstairs and the hot air would rise up the stairs but by the time it did that it was cold again. The neighbor,David,came by this morning and said these places have NO insulation so only gas will work...I just stand over the two burner hotplate and rub my hands together..It was 50 for a high today with a good wind and suppose to be low 40's again tonight.I so appreciate my central air and heat..and alot of other things I use to not think alot of...Anyway...I am so thankful that home is in sight...I do not want to ever forget this adventure...and I will continue to write some after we get home...I would not want to leave some of you hanging wondering what is going...Like we said in the beginnning...This is an adventure that will probably last a life time...I do want to give GOD all the glory for this adventure...Because I am telling you ...I can think back to where HE was the only thing that carried me along...I could have never done this on my own...SO PRAISE GOD for all the wonderful things he has done to help us bring our daughter home...She is going to be fine...
