DTC!!!

Last Friday we received an email from Jennifer our SW saying that we could be DTC in a few days but that we needed to send scans of our passports via email to Illinois where the main adoption coordination office is located. Needless to say I hopped in the car and buzzed home to get the passports. As I looked I started to panic. The passports weren't where we keep them. They have been in the same cabinet forever. When you panic you can't think clearly. I knew I had to make copies to send to Jennifer but then what did I do with them?! Bang - it hit me. They were in the car locked in the glove compartment. I had left them there after I photocopied them a few weeks ago. So, I had them with me the whole time and the drive back to the office was completely unnecessary. So we got those sent off.
Since then I got the flu and I have been usless to everyone. Here's how I knew I was feeling really miserable. I checked email from my phone while lying in bed yesterday. There was an email from Jennifer saying we were DTC on 1/3/2006. I could only manage a half smile before falling back to sleep. Once I am feeling 100% I will have to begin searching out estimated dates for travel. Let the waiting begin.
