Catching My Breathe

Where to begin... last Thursday we were waiting for the call that the US Embassy in Peru had our final paperwork and to FINALLY get the o.k to book our tickets.  I had contacted three different travel agents to price check and arrange flights that would make most sense, like not flying out of Lima at 1:25 am or spending the night someplace state side as a layover.  Instead the phone call came that an error that had been noted for correction over a year ago, was not corrected and this paperwork was not reviewed by our agency until it was to be turned in.  MAJOR ERROR


Of course it was another holiday weekend so Friday was a wash.  Monday we heard from the agency that it was a holiday in Peru, the courts were closed and the individual needed to assist us is on vacation until Thursday!  So here we wait, there our daughters wait!  NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

I have asked about what will happen on Thursday and Friday and the agency does not want to make any commitments, they say so I will not get my hopes up, too late for that!  My best guess is that if we get the correction on Thursday and turned into the Embassy on Friday (only a one hour window in the morning when it can be delivered) the Embassy will issue our Article 5.  The Article 5 is what we need to travel.  For the third week in a row the answers come on the last day of the week and so we wait through the weekend.  PLEASE pray that on Friday we get the o.k to book our tickets to travel in 7 days. 

I had an INTENSE dream last night, with vivid images of our daughters, we were all together, hugging, giggling, looking at each other, no words, just relishing in the reality that we could TOUCH one another... that we were finally a forever family!  Than I woke up and I was cuddled up with Saige (our dog) Ben was snoring and I was pretty certain I had just been kicked in the stomach!

Writing this post, which is always a time to pause and reflect, made me SMILE.  My dream screams MY love languages, quality time and physical touch.  Often times we love others with our love language, make sense I would dream this way especially not spending time with him.  I wonder what Julissa & Johanna's love languages are?  Quality time, physical touch, receiving gifts, acts of service or words of affirmation.....I cannot wait to discover.
