The mail never looked so good!!

So greg just opened up the mail - i though for sure that the document we've been waiting for from dept. of homeland security/immigration would come in a big envelope so when i didn't see one in the mail today, i was irritated that we didn't get the doc. yet & i'd have to contact immigration again (which is no easy task)...then Greg handed me a smaller envelope with Dept. of homeland return address & sure enough WE GOT IT!!!!! I loved the mail man for bringing it, I loved the guy at immigration who helped get that to me & i loved Greg for not believing me when i said that we didn't get the doc yet. AND also in the mail today the document came that we needed from our homestudy agency - JACKPOT! When it comes together, it really comes together - seems you have to get to the pit before all the good stuff comes flooding down. So now i have the 3 documents in my hand that we need to get a court date. Next step is send these to Sacramento to get the state seal & then they're off to the adoption agency (back east) & then we should be given a court date! Now i feel like we're back in the game where we should have been in the beginning. I was so scared to open the documents in fear i'd accidentally rip a corner of the page or spit on it or some horrible tragedy would fall upon the paperwork...this is the kind of insane fear that happens when these documents are the way to your child...by the way..a child that you want to get out of the orphanage asap!! Today is a good day!

Dear Greg and Jeanette,
There is a little something in the mail for you from me and Tom. We can't wait to be on the same coast together! We're still waiting from news from the school's to see where exactly we will be heading! Love to you all! Erica and Tom
