WE PASSED COURT TODAY!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
I was busy all morning and away from the house. When I finally got home around noon, I checked my email and there was a message from Imagine requesting that I call them right away... The message seemed positive(the urgency of it) but I was trying to prepare myself for the news that we may not have passed, especially after hearing that other families had not been successful yesterday and the day before. When I was told that we passed, I was speechless for a few seconds. I just couldn't get any words out and my eyes welled up with tears. What an incredible moment.
We feel so very fortunate that this step is over and that we do not need to wait weeks for a second court date. My heart goes out to those who do (I hope you know how much this bothers me - it's just so unfair).
I am so thrilled to be able to post Mimi's photos.
We're going to fly the Ethiopian flag off the porch tonight and have a family celebration with the boys (no swimming lessons for them, no boot camp for me) just fancy drinks, dinner and out for ice cream. : )
