We have our LOA!!!!

My mom just recently got an email from our agency (a few minutes ago) and they told us that we got our LOA!  :-D :-D :-D  Finally, what we have been waiting for all this time... and we finally got it!  Hopefully we'll be getting TA soon...!!!!

Trip to the pumpkin patch

One more week...maybe...

We got an email from Pam (she works with our agency) and she said they contacted the CCAA and we were mentioned, along with 2 other people.  They said our LOAs are either on top or somewhere near to the top of the stack and will be mailed sometime this week or next.  Can't wait!!!!

Well, our agency is inquiring with the CCAA about our--okay, everybody with our LID in our agency, so basically our group--about our paperwork, because we should have an LOA by now...at least you'd think.  Hopefully things will pick up speed pretty soon so we can get through this looooooooooooong process!  :-|  (...maybe...)  *sigh*

Patiently (*cough*cough*I mean anxiously*) waiting, 

:-(

Well, as it turns out, the package did not end up being our LOA, or anybody's in our group...we don't know what it is, but it's not our letter of approval and there isn't really any news on it, another package, or when it may be arriving to our agency...still waiting...

Nothing yet....

Well, no LOA today yet as of now...it's about 11:30 am where I live, so there's still hope. 

Possible LOA tomorrow!

Well, there is a package "en route" that our agency will probably be receiving tomorrow from the CCAA...since they aren't expecting any TAs, they are thinking it will probably be a batch of LOAs....which means that we may get ours tomorrow!  Then they would overnight it and we'd get it Tuesday, then we could send it back or whatever, and they receive it Wednesday.  We are really hoping this could be it...and maybe it will be!  I'll keep you updated on what the package contains!  Next up, TA...then our consulate appointment and then *suspenseful music*....TRAVELING!!!  (Mom and Kylie are hoping to be home by Christmas, however mom [just in case and stuff] is getting all the Christmas shopping done early...like now.)  Tomorrow, I am going to see Barlow Girl in concert (they're a really amazing group) and we're working on school at home.  Life is pretty normal right now (AKA, boring) and hopefully Karli will be with us soon to add a little more spice to our lives.  :D

We may have LOA this coming week...

Well, TA's came this week for some people (those fortunate ones who already got their LOA), and LOA's usually come the week after.  That means there's a pretty good chance that we might be getting our letter of approval in the week to come!  Maybe....it's all in God's time.  My mom told the agency that she wants the first consulate appointment available (I don't remember if I told you this...now isn't that sad?), even if it's like two days later, because she would like to have Karli home as soon as possible...even if that means spending a little more money.  Kylie's dog business is going steady still, and we actually have a dog at our house right now.  If there's 0ne thing I have to say about Kylie, it's that when she wants something she goes for it; she's not one to take "no" for an answer.  (I would tell you how much money she has in her account right now, but I honestly don't know.)  Kenzie is doing great!  She's quite talkative now...she seems to learn more words daily.  (Like rainbow...who the heck taught her that?  Hmmm...)  Keaton's pretty good, too.  He's playing baseball, as I believe I mentioned earlier, and he made a run today and got a game ball :-D that's awesome!!!!  My basketball games start November 3rd, so hopefully a little more activity will keep me/us busy in waiting for Karli...although it seems we have too busy of a life as it is.  Wellllllllll.....here's hoping to an LOA soon--perhaps wednesday.  TTYL.

Well.....no LOA yet....big surprise!  (JK.)  Still waiting....

Goods news!!!!  We might be in room #2 (or office #2) at the CCAA...which means we could (maybe!) get our LOA soon....hopefully!

WAITING STINKS!!!!!!!

What's up, everyone?  I know I haven't updated my blog in a while, but there hasn't really been any news lately.  We're still waiting.  *grimaces*  My mom is thinking we may get our LOA on Wednesday...we're hoping.  Last week, the CCAA (or whatever it is in China that is in charge of all of the paperwork) was on vacation last week and returned to work Monday at 8am...which is really Sunday like at 7 for where I live!  After LOA, I believe we will be waiting to get our TA and then our consulate appointment, so Kylie and my mom can travel.  (Kylie, like I was, is already ready to start packing...the wait just seems to take forever!!!!!)  My mom is also working on sending money each month to a child in China, who is in need of it, so whenever she finds out who and any information about him/her, then I will let you know.  Also, my blog will be undergoing a makeover soon.  I found a girl online who is going to do a layout for my blog for free, and I think I am like third or fourth in line, so that will be happening soon as well.  :-D  Sooo....I guess that's it for now!!!  Between sports (basketball for me, soccer for Kylie, and Keaton has baseball), church, and activities like Super Friday, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, our lives are all pretty busy.  (Plus school on top of that!)  I guess I'll be talking to you all later...hopefully with an LOA next time!
