Friday was a GREAT day

I checked the mail last night and was gleeful to see my fingerprint appointments in there. I can go as early as Tuesday at 8am. Unfortunately I have to work and that is too short of notice to go and get them done. The offices are open Tue-Sat 8-3:30 so I will be at USCIS at approximately 8:01 next Saturday morning. I am so excited. That took less than a week, since they just got my completed homestudy last Friday. Let's hope this is the start of more progress.
In the mail my mom and I also were invited to my cousins wedding. She is my dad's brothers daughter and I thought that may be weird, but my dad isn't going (he left my mom and I on 1/1/04, it's a long, emotional story), so it felt really nice to be invited, it's in December and the reception is going to be held at a vineyard. Sounds nice.
Friday was definatly a good mail day.

    How exciting about the baby. I guess I didn't realize you were actually going to Viet Nam to gather your bundle of joy up. Exciting and scary but then that's life I think.
    Yes I got the invite as well, however, my schedule isn't going to allow for me to attend. I'm going to take the gift card suggestion I got on the little card-- Pier One I'm thinking. I think that will be a nice gift...better than a couple of tired Oregonians (Your other Aunt and myself) all soggy from the probable rain storm that will be occuring that day.
    The weather here is just like way too easy to predict! HA!
    Well, I know your mind is on getting the baby and you've had well over the customary 9 months to prepare, so i'm sure you are you more than really ready!
