The Wait is Over!!---------August 22, 2008

The wait is over!! After waiting 14 days, we got clearance today to leave the state of Texas and go home to Missisippi! We had a pretty big scare yesterday when we were told that some of the paperwork could not be found...and that we might have to start over, but somehow Abrazo got it all worked out! So today, after we received a fax and got it notarized, we obtained the permission needed to head home!
We will be leaving on Saturday morning around 9 or 10 a.m. and hopefully get to Mississippi by 5 or 6 p.m. It will be new territory for us! Not sure how many times we will have to stop!!
Jack is ready to meet Aunt Keri, Uncle Andrew, and the girls!! Plus, he is sure that there will be lots of other people ready to meet him too! We told him last night he was as famous as a rock star back home!! :) He has been so loved at every step of the way during his little life....First by Jessica and her family, then by our family, and now he will feel the love of everyone back home who has been praying for him every step of the way!!! He can't wait to meet you all!!
We are so thankful for the time we have had in Texas.....Time to just sit and enjoy Jack and getting to know him. We are so glad to have gotten to spend almost two weeks with Jessica and then another week at Joann's house in Plano! Plus, it was a treat to spend that middle week with Al, Jen, and the kids!!

We have not been home in over 20 days.....and we can't believe the time has come to Go Home with our baby!! How fun!

Thank you, God, for such wonderful days!!

Have a safe trip!
