APPROVED!!

I feel dazed as I rethink the past hours of this day.  We got the call from our attorney at 6:30 am (9:30 her time) telling me we got the good word and to go check my inbox!!  Yep, there it was!!!  I was still tired and in a haze...but I read it!!  APPROVAL!!  The sweetest word ever!!  I think I am still in a haze... and tired... but I am very, very relieved and very, very happy!!

For the past week I have been calling our travel agent and he has been very patient with me in making reservations...then changing them....then re-reserving tickets!!  Yesterday and the day before on one flight they were sold out, so were left hanging.  Today, our agent checked all options and then went back to this same one, and guess what?  He could get us on!!  That means, we are leaving this Saturday morning!!  Yep, in like 2 days!!!

So many of you that have been following our journey can understand what this means to us!!  I feel void of emotion right now, I have been barely hanging on and trying very careful to keep my emotions aside.  I just couldn't afford to be let down again!  It will all hit eventually.  Right now I am too busy making plans, packing, and I am taking care of a sweet girl who is still recovering from her surgery Yesterday. 

Eden's surgery went very well Yesterday in Chico.  She had six teeth extracted due to abscesses!!  The doctor was a little surprised!!  She had her six year molars capped, fillings, etc. so she has a pretty sore mouth.  She did very well, though!  We talked and tried to help her be prepared and explained to her what was going to happen!  

We had a long trip home since I-5 interstate had been closed for some time.  We were so happy to be home last night though!!  Eden had a good night's rest and is having a very good nap.  Her recovery is expected to go very quickly, otherwise we would not be leaving on Saturday.  

On our way to the outpatient center.  Eden and Grandma Shirley!

 Bella didn't want to be in the picture.  Can you tell?

 Our awesome driver!  He proved it on the way back home!!  I was super glad he came with us!!

 Before her sleepy medicine... obviously!!

 It was good to keep Eden busy since it helped to keep her mind off of what was ahead for her!  Bella was there for moral support!

 This picture was taken after the "happy medicine" and she wasn't supposed to be walking around anymore!  I was glad I decided on bringing Bella too!
