It's Not 5:00 Yet!

Well, I am still in Medellin. After talking to my caseworker & associate in Colombia, we decided to wait to go back to Bogota until the sentencia is signed. They said it could be 5:00 on Thursday afternoon, or even Friday, so if I went now, I would likely have to stay the weekend before we could get to the embassy on Monday. So it's better that I stay with family than to have to spend the weekend alone in the hotel. It makes sense, but to me going back to Bogota meant we were that much closer to going home, but hopefully this way, Raelen & I will spend less time in Bogota before we get to go home.

I'm actually making plans & talking to Donnie & my mom about coming home! It's exciting! Since Donnie will likely be gone on the cruise (by himself, sniff...) on Saturday, Mom said she will be able to come to the airport next week & pick us up. I'm having to start a list of things for her to bring...carseat, SNOWSUIT!, my winter coat, ugh! Not looking forward to winter in Iowa again, but at least it will be spring soon:) She had taken the week off to keep the kids while we were on the cruise, so at least she'll be off so we can take Raelen to meet people. You can email me your name & I will put you on the waiting list (just kidding!).

So, every time the phone rings, I think it's someone calling about the sentencia. I still have hope for today...it's not 5:00 yet!
