EEEEEEEEP!

we interrupt regular programming to bring you this late-breaking news:

WE ARE IN! OUR EP WAS SUBMITTED TO THE MINISTRY EARLIER THIS WEEK!

yahoo!

we just got an email from our program specialist who just received this news from our program director (who happens to be in korea this week). she knew how anxious we were, so she emailed us as soon as she heard. isn't that nice? :)

yay!!! we're doing a major happy dance here.

this gives us a somewhat definite timeline now, something we haven't really had in this process. now we know that we will be in korea picking up OUR SON sometime in the next 6-9 weeks!

yippee skippy!



if you're visiting from iclw, hello! and a quick disclaimer...my posts *usually* have a bit more meat to them and aren't usually filled with a ridiculous number of exclamation points. ;)

    Whoo-hoo! Super excited for you! FINALLY!!! Carson will be coming home soon! Just FYI Joel had his VI about 4 weeks after he was submitted and came home just after 5 weeks! So I think a Thanksgiving or even before then in Korea won't be surprising!
