I had a feeling we were going to get our NOA2 this week, and sure enough, we got our email late last night. We are both excited and relieved, and ready for all the planning to take place this fall, hopefully to have her here by the end of the year.

105 days is exactly 3 and a half months. We consider ourselves so very lucky, given that we got our NOA2 right at the tail end of CSC's massive slowdown to DACAs and weren't expecting it until October at the earliest.

Thanks for all the congratulatory messages guys! Being together soon is starting to hit home now. smile.png

Congratulations...

Genesis 2:22-24
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
