Tomorrow, tomorrow...

...is our final home study visit.

House is clean, autobiographies have been finished, met Janiece for a mango mojito to calm my nerves.

(Not that I need to drink mango mojitos when I'm nervous. Really, I don't. Ummm... I hope J.D. isn't reading this...)

I'm ready.

wow! maybe it's just me because i'm half a world away, but it just seems like things are moving so quickly! i've been poking around on the adoption blogs too and this is it right? i mean after this do you just wait for the call?

HAHA--you'll be fine! An trust me, JD understands, even if she is reading this!
And I can't wait for us to go out again! It was good to get out for a little while.

Good Luck! (Although you probably don't need it!) And, I think a drink of celebration or relaxation is necessary to endure this journey! Just don't tell my SW I said that...
