Paperwork- BLAH!!!

More paperwork to do! Just received a BIG packet of paperwork to fill out from our China agency because they will be the follow-up agency for our Kazakhstan adoption. I think this is the point where anyone faint of heart may just have a major meltdown--I am close!!! Pray that I keep my sanity and don't drive those around me crazy.

I am also wishing for you a relatively smooth road to kazakhstan. It's a long one isn't it? I can't tell you how much I appreciate you being in close proximity! Sometimes it is hard to explain to people, and it is nice to share with someone who knows just what you are going through!!

See you Tuesday.
