The Universe Has Order Again
We've heard it said that The Call comes when you least expect it. Maybe that was what we were doing wrong all these months -- we were expecting the call every single day.
Here we are, September 11th, at around 9:15 p.m., when we get a call from our agency's Executive Director. And, even hearing her voice, I was expecting some info about something or other. But, for once, I was completely wrong. It was The Call.
(Okay, Sheri just corrected me. She said "for once?" Okay, okay. I guess I've been completely wrong for the entire spring and summer.)
We always thought that on getting The Call we'd break into tears or scream like Britney Spears fans. For both of us, the response was a lot simpler -- "ahhhhh." It's like my chest opened up a bit and I could take a full breath.
Details still need to be resolved, but we're looking at travel in about four weeks.
It's nice to post this, but I need to get back to this bottle of 1998 Dom Perginon (thank you Miro!) and my beautiful partner. All is good. It really is.

9/11 now has meaning! You should have seen Joanna face as she returned you 935 p.m. call at 10:15 p.m. Yosemite time - forget Visa, it was priceless!!
I would have posted earlier but the hotel had me double booked so the password did not work until I called the 877 number - - -- --nevermind.
We are soooo happy for you. Sheri, your voice was entirely different from the voice we have heard the last several months.
Joy is a voice tone;
