That all being said, and really I am happy, but have I mentioned how much I dislike snail mail now, and how much the Chinese and US government seem to love it?
Wasatch needs that piece of paper to make our Consulate Appointment (the last step). If it comes on Friday it will already be the weekend in China and we won't be able to make our Consulate Appointment until next Thursday because of the holiday week. I'm still hoping it comes on Thursday instead but if not I will be patient (easy when you don't have a choice *wink*) and wait another week. It just would be so nice to be using the time next week to set travel plans, not just waiting again.
I know that we are right there, the end of this strange endurance test is in sight. We are almost in China with our baby Ava in our arms...I just still hold out hope that I will catch a break at some point in this process.
Some things I have learned in the past year:
Not everyone uses scanning, email and fax; it does not waste enough time- they still use the postal service.
I'm really not good with steps with erratic, undependable timelines.
I so appreciate lines.
I only understand first come-first served.
I have to rely on a logical order of things to keep my sanity in check.
And I continue to learn how to throw this all out the window and be flexible.
Hmm... Probably good preparation for our travel and for when Ava comes home...
