Court Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, I FINALLY have a court date! November 28th is our day and I'm hoping to pass on the first try :)

The call was so unexpected yesterday, absolutely unexpected as I still haven't even received an official referral yet!! But I couldn't be more happy that I could be spending the holidays in Ethiopia with Bamlak and with that visit I will never have to bring her back to Kechene every night again! That's right! I won't have to ask permission and beg the Director to let us spend time together outside the home. I won't have to beg to take her swimming or to let her spend the night or to go out to lunch. I won't have to sneak in food and put it under her bed covers to make sure she'll have food when she's hungry. She'll be home ever!

More writing later... SO EXCITED!!!

I cried when I got your message last night, I could tell in your voice that you sounded so happy and then when you said court date- I just cried. I'm so happy that this long journey is finally nearing the end and your new beginning is just around the corner. WE LOVE YOU BOTH and are so excited to think that we may be able to visit you or you and Bamluk visit us soon! I will be saying lot's of prayers for you both that the 28th is the best day ever!

Congratulations!!!!! I hadn't checked your blog in awhile and missed out on all the good news. I know you can hardly wait. We will be praying for you on the 28th, that you will pass court and be on your way to bring Beamluk home soon.
