Article 5...Another Wait Begins

I found out today our Article 5 paperwork was dropped off at the Consulate in China on Tuesday, January 17.  The thing about the Article 5 is that is always takes 2 weeks exactly to get processed.  So, normally that would mean, our completed Article 5 would be picked up January 31.  However, Monday is Chinese New Year and those lucky Chinese...they get the WHOLE WEEK off to celebrate!!

With that, our Article 5 will be picked up on Febuary 7.  That is when the real fun begins...we begin the wait for Travel Approval!  We are on the next to the last step in traveling to bring our Kylie home!  To be honest, I alternate between hyperventilating because it's another 6-8 weeks to travel and hyperventilating because OMG IT'S 6-8 WEEKS TO TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have more to say, but not tonight.  There's more exciting stuff coming though...so come on back.
