WE HAVE IT!!!!!!!

WE HAVE THE PASSPORT!!!!! I took Sandra to school and headed back to the house with an uncertainity as to whether or now go..I left here at 10am..Went and found the chocolate...and headed over...When I walked in I went right on back to the lady's window..Like I knew what I was doing..As I stood there I thought for sure that I saw Sandra's pic and papers on another ladys desk..Ms. Garcia walked up and said something in spanish and I said"It's here?" and she said yes and it would be ready to pick up at 2..I took out those chocolates with tears running down my face and she was saying NONONO and I was saying MUCHO GRASIAS...I left and sat in the parking lot calling everyone and suddenly my Mexico cell rang and it was Ms. Garcia saying something about an original...I said I was in the parking lot and I would be right back in...She said that Mexico City had kept the original adoption decree and they needed one to do the passport...I said I would try and make it back in an hour to hour and a half..I went straight to the school wanting to rush in and just take Sandra out but I knew she would want to talk with her friends...So I waited..What a long 30 minutes...About the time they were to start out the door I got out of the van and walked up to the door...As Sandra and her friends exited the door she is looking at me asking me what I was doing...and I said...IT IS HERE!!!! She started smiling..I started crying again..and everyone started gathering around..People I didnt even know would know what was going on were coming up and congratulating us...Then we had to go in and see her teacher with the two friends following..He talked about how proud of Sandra he was and how he knew she would do well in Florida..and of course they exchanged e-mails so he could know her progress in school there...Then the two friends wanted to get together with Sandra this evening to eat at the mall..We are about to head out...Oh yea...I brought Sandra on to the house to start getting ready ...We still dont have water...and I headed back with the adoption decree to the passport office...I was about 15 minutes out and the mex.cell rang again..It was Ms.Garcia wondering how much longer before I arrived..I told her about 15 minutes and she said she would not leave then..I got there right at 15 minutes...rushed in and gave her the adoption decree and they started to work..They said it would be about an hour which would make it about 2:30 before it would be ready...I hung out in the parking lot and went back in after about 45 minutes...I could see Ms Garcia rushing around and sticking papers here and there...THey close at 3pm...Well at 5 minutes till 3 she called me up and gave me that glorious passport...and I thanked her ever so much...See what a bag of herseys kisses can do...She could have left and went on to whatever she was going to do and I would not have gotten that passport till tomorrow...Some sugar and caffiene and they will work extra hard for you...I can not tell you the feelings that are running around in my heart...Sandra's either..She smiled most of the way home...I know she is going to be having mixed emotions...I am here for her...I know this is going to be a BIG change...But she has one LARGE family to help her thru...We both said..."This has been one long journey"..It will be right at 5 months when we arrive back in Florida...I cant believe it...Well I will finish this when we come in...We have to go..Well nothing new to write except I know there is something dead in our wall...But the water is back on...So at least it will just be the smell of the dead whatever and not us too...We have to get up at 5am..so I am closing...Thank you for all the prayers...PRAISE AND GLORY TO OUR LORD FOR HELPING ME TO DO THIS...AND GETTING US BACK HOME...
You make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I seng for joy at the works of your hands. Howgreat are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts....
