Visa's + Dim Sum + Friends = A FAB day!
Yesterday we headed up to the city, San Francisco that is, to turn in our visa applications and meet up with some friends for lunch! It was a fabulous day! And it was the next step in this journey to our girl. It is just so amazing to be doing this, actually it is a bit bizarre, it feels so strange to actually be doing something for our adoption besides updating paperwork or waiting. Our lives have been on hold for so long that now that we are finally moving we aren't yet used to these amazing feelings! Yesterday was a great way to get the fog cleared out of our heads and realize that yes this is really happening now!
So after we spent just a few minutes in the Chinese Consoluate, we headed out into the streets of San Francisco. I SO love this city!
We then met up with Michelle and Joe in Chinatown for some Dim Sum and visiting. Good times and we are so looking forward to doing that again soon but next time with Baby J in tow! Yippieee!! We had such a great time just chatting, catching up and eating!!
Our lunch was lively but too short! We had to run home to get back to our sweet pups and get the teenage boys off to their next adventure which I just found out was an all nighter, their first....oooo to be a teenager again!
As we drove out of town with coffee in hand Mike drove me past the exact spot he was standing on when he received my phone call that we had a daughter....The end to a perfect day!
