is that envelope... BROWN !?!

this day is getting better and better... but first, the best part - we got our brown envelope today !! for us adoptee's, its the notice from China that informs us where to go and what to fill out when we finalize lucy's adoption. it is just paperwork and forms, but it is the best looking dark manilla envelope i have ever seen.
we did not get a chance to get our mail till about 30 minutes ago, and we were not too anxious. saturday mail always consists of our local penny saver and a 'have you seen her...' flyer.
totally stoked. we had the best intentions of reading every page, but a quick rundown of the sheets enclosed gave us the boost we needed. not for nothing, but going thru this elephant pregnancy is tough. we are just about at 5 months since l.i.d., on tuesday, and we thought that we may not get this envelope, and that the bad luck would just compile till we got there. our friends the meltzers got their envelope right around their 5th month, so i kept that in the back of my mind. we spent a few hours last night together, and they were very encouraging.. to hang in there. thanks guys, we really needed that.
we spend some time and money at the outlets today.. blah blah.. we spent a couple of hours fawning over mccoy.... but this envelope is the highlight.
yeah for us!

Jeremy smart Tracy Smarter Glad the brown envelope has arrived safely. Put it away and remember where it is. Stay calm and take deep breaths through our elephant pregnancy's. Start stocking up on ketchup packets and granola bars.
