One step closer....

Well as I was taking a couple days off at Christmas to spend with my family, the CCAA was busy getting my dossier logged in. My offical log in date is 12/22/05. This means we now know the date to start the count down. The hard part is that the count down timeframe keeps changing. Right now the referrals have been received about 8-9 months after the log in date (versus 5-7 months in the past). This means I would be receiving my referral around August or September and would travel to China in October or November. I think we are pretty safe saying that Malia would be home for the holidays next year, but hopefully she is home in time for a couple fall weddings. I will keep you posted as we approach the Review Room next.
