If I had only known….

That leaving town for 9 days and getting ‘out of the loop’ on the boards (ie less anxious and stressed about when our TA would come) would bring on our TA I would have done it long ago!! We arrived home late yesterday evening and spent a good part of this morning catching up. I was out mowing with Isabelle when ‘the call’ came from our social worker at Lifeline, our agency. I came in and checked the messages and Karla left a basic, “hey, it’s Karla, call me back when you get a chance…” So I called back and she asked about our Easter and I asked about hers and I started to think maybe there was a problem with our dossier or something. Then she asked me if I was sitting down. The goosebumps started at the top of my head and went all the way to my fingertips when she said “Guess what we got in the mail today?” Even she was suprised that it came so quickly, only 46 days since we were logged in at the CCAA. So now we must wait a little bit more … we should know our travel dates by the end of the week.

P.S. We did find a house to buy and we’ll be closing on it May 23. But in light of the new news of the day, I think I’ll post picutres and info about that later.
