Okay... when I have gained some composure after all I have experienced this past three days, I will write it all better. For now I will just let you know that our BIG GOD cares about EVERY detail!!! It is very true. The level to which I'm experiencing Him right now is surreal and let me never fail to give the glory for all of these events to Lord Jesus!!!
Against all chances of hearing any good news this afternoon, as the embassy (who never responded to my calls or emails) closed at 1:30 my time.... my agency called! They have an inside contact who was able to go to embassy and confirm the visa's existence!!!!!!!!!!
Carrie WILL be present for her appointment on Monday morning. Her visa WILL get picked up on Tuesday afternoon and Carrie WILL be escorted home... on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving :)))))) Now we're trying to figure out escort's timeline so we can buy the plane tickets for her from Guatemala and back! Last overwhelming feat to accomplish!
How does one sing praise loud enough?? It's been an emotional rolllller coooaster and we're only really beginning it, let's face it! A whole new child to learn and love and raise. Wow! A baby girl... pink and red, ribbons and jewelry! Oh, I cannot wait to get her ears pierced! Our precious daughter, so beautiful... such a beautiful gift. She's almost here.
Thank you, Jesus! We are truly in awe.

Hello!
This blog began as a way to keep family and friends up to speed on our journey to our precious daughter, Carrine Renee. She's been home well over a year now and is very much "one of us"! We will keep the blog going, however, so that we have a way to document some of our family life and to keep special people included in it!! Like you :)) Thanks for stopping by! Come again!!
First Snow!

Where does she fly to, Laura? My sis is coming in to Albany Friday at 4:30ish... that would be too awesome if you guys were there so I could sneak a peek! But truly I hope it's first thing in the morning so that you can get her homr ASAP!! :-) -- Melissa
Praise the Lord! I am just so excited for you guys right now. I have chill bumps and am in tears!!! I just am so happy that the day has finally come for Carrie to come home. What a true blessing you all are getting for Thanksgiving.
Can you believe she is really going to be there?
Much love and joy! Nicole
