Life with Lia: LOA Arrived Today!

LOA Arrived Today!

Yesterday I rec'd notice that my LOA from the Chinese gov't had arrived at my agency's office in Colorado. They FedEx'd it to me...and ding, dong, the doorbell rang around 10:30 am and the FedEx guy was quite surprised to learn that part of his job was "delivering babies"... but he was happy to pose for a quick photo with me for Lia's scrapbook:

Then the sorting and signing of the documents began...

We wrapped this up with a trip to the FedEx office downtown so I could overnight everything I signed back to Colorado. In the meantime, my Travel Packet arrived via email, so now I get to work on all the travel paperwork and requirements, visa applications, etc. ... never a dull moment these days, but I'LL TAKE IT - another step closer to my girl!
