our dossier is complete!!!!!!!!!!

i seriously doubted that we'd EVER say those words...but it's true!!!

we received the rest of the documents on saturday - authenticated and ready to go!

i spent saturday afternoon making 3 copies of every document.

then we spread them out all around our dining room to compile the 3 complete copies we needed.

we have 1 stack of the actual, original dossier.
2 copies to give to our agency.
and we keep a copy.

rebekah helped :-)

and, here it is...

you have NO idea what this stack of papers means to us.
SO many hours...so much money...

and one step closer to those 2 little boys in Rwanda!

pat walked into our agency this morning and handed them over!

i'll talk about what the next step is soon...just let me enjoy that we are finished with this one for a moment! :-)

I love the last statement. Isn't that how so much of the process its? It's such an incredible, wonderful feeling to have another "step" complete, but then about 5 seconds later you start the "waiting" part of the next step! I'm so happy that this part is done. It truly is a huge step. I totally know how you feel and it's a great feeling!
