:) :) :) :) :) !!!!!!TRAVEL CALL!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

At 9:21 this morning our phone rang. It was the first phone call of the day. I was sitting on the couch pouting, and Ben was sitting next to me making fun of me. Anyway, the phone rang and we both looked at each other. I refused to answer it, because I was sure it wasn't "the call". Ben got up, grabbed the phone and read the caller I.D. It said "PRIVATE". Ugh... my heart broke again. Well, turns out our SW was home with her sick child so she called from her house!!! This was the conversation I heard:

Caller: blah blah blah
Ben: Yes, this is Ben.
Caller: Blah, blah, blah
Ben: Great, how about you? (I was clued in here that this could be "the call" because Ben never says "great".)
Caller: Blah blah blah.
Ben: Ok, just a second. (Then Ben puts the phone on speaker and says "go ahead")
Caller: YOUR BABY IS READY TO TRAVEL!!!
Me: uncontrollable sobbing, without the ability to speak.

Quickly Ben took the phone off of speaker, and got the rest of the information. I think I cried for the next 10 minutes without taking a breath. I still can't believe we finally got our travel call.

We made our flight reservations and we are leaving Tuesday. We will be gone for a week, but we will return with our BEAUTIFUL SON!!!!
