Mission Accomplished!!

We got a big project done before Austin's arrival.
With the help of Princess Nikki, Babe, Daddy and my lovely husband Marc we FINALLY got all the dirt around the pool cleared away, dug out around the edges of the pool two feet, sprayed RoundUp around the pool, put tar paper down so that darn grass won't grow back AND layed sand on top of the tar paper.
I must say - it looks GOOD !!!!!!!!! We all worked our tails off.
My parent's are the best! They have been out there every few days working their butts off in that scorching heat.
Thank you EVERYONE for all your help. It could not have been done without you.

Earthquake!

Thanks to one of my blogging friends I have discovered that there was an Earthquake with the rictor scale of 6.8 in Guatemala!! UGH!!!
Blogging buddies and their babies are ok though - thank goodness.
The earthquake hit 70 miles from Guatemala City (which is on the Coast Line of Guatemala). Luckily, all of the blogging buddies are right in the city - they still felt it though !!!!!
CNN is unable at this time to relay the extent of damage in Guatemala due to phone lines being down and personal unable to get down there.
Let's all give a prayer not too many people were seriously injured.

Silliness

Ok....I know this is so silly. I have already posted with Today's BIG NEWS, but I am just so freakin excited!! You would not believe how much stress has been released since I have discovered that we are out of PGN now. It feels like a large brick is now out of my stomach. hmmmm....I wonder if I have lost any weight since I lost my brick???? ha ha
This is the first time since my Mother's and I visit trip that this adoption process feels "real". Such a wonderful feeling it is.

WE ARE OUT!!!

Austin is out of PGN!!!
We are so excited!! Our adoption center stated we should have an exact travel date within 7 to 10 days.
