Bonsoir!- That means good evening, in french! You see, I AM learning.
So guess what? Our registration package is on it's way to our agency as I type this very post. Stuff is really happening- I just hope we did everything correctly. It was A TON of stuff to put together- it almost didn't fit the GIANT envelope we bought for it. My husband and I decided we were going to finish it today NO MATTER WHAT. It took us all day, but, we got er done! We also sent the application off to agency number 2. I can't believe after several weeks of writing our autobiographies, to gathering all this crazy paperwork and creating family trees, finally, finally, we are done!!! It feels incredible to have finished 3-4 days before we had intended to, originally i thought we would finish it on Wed or Thursday! Hopefully we can keep up these quick timelines...how amazing would it be to have our baby home super fast too, like next Christmas perhaps? One can dream!
I am just SO HAPPY. We are closer to the home study. Closer to our son. I can't wait till the day that i first have him in my arms. Gosh it is going to be an incredible feeling, becoming a mommy at last and knowing that all the years of waiting, praying and hoping have finally amounted to something.
We got super lucky today with the post. The delivery truck was super late and ended up taking the post just as we sent off ours! How lucky is that! So instead of our letter going out first thing Tuesday- it is going out Monday evening. What a bonsoir ( what a good evening....lol. Does that even work? Probably not...but at least I am getting more french practice! )
I also hope our secondary agency doesn't think we are weirdos, as they asked for one photo and i sent...3! Whoops. I couldn't decide on one, and the post office was about to close. One photo we are wearing sunglasses, but we look so parental in it....cool sunglass wearing parents of course. The other is a good close up shot of us...but i worried it was too close up, and hubby was sporting glasses yet again *sigh * ...the last one we are enjoying a delicious brownie....however the shot feels too far away. So i just sent them all! A little of everything...the more the merrier, right? right!
Anyway I should be heading off to bed as the lack of sleep is really turning me into a basket case. I left my purse on the floor at the post office! Who does that! Luckily my husband and I had been lingering in the shoppers attached to the post office for a solid hour afterwards, as the woman from the post office recognized me as she was leaving for the day....I probably wouldn't have noticed that I was purse-less until the very next morning. That would have been tragic.
Before I float off to dream of my future adventures in the Congo a year or more from now; here are my 2 other french words to practice all day tmw as well as keeping up with Bonsoir (bong-swaah) and Bonne Nuit ( Bohn en-wee );
S'il vous plait !- PLEASE
