One Step Closer!

This was an exciting week for us. We celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on Wednesday, October 13th. We're hopeful that this anniversary will be one of the last anniversaries we spend without having "her" home and without having to book a babysitter. We had a great anniversary celebration and we're looking forward to celebrating many more wonderful years together!

Our Wedding Day

On Friday, October 15th we went to Cincinnati, OH to submit our fingerprints to USCIS. We left the house at 5:15am to make our 8:00am appointment at the J. W. Peck Federal Building, we were terrified we'd be late. Thankfully we didn't run into any problems and we arrived at the parking garage at 7:00am. The Federal Building opened at 7:30am and the Fingerprinting Office didn't open until 8:00am. We went through security and waited as people quickly formed a long line behind us.

Now that our fingerprints are submitted we're focusing on compiling everything needed for our Dossier. Once they are processed we will  receive our I71H form which will be the last thing we are waiting on to complete our Dossier and mail it to Ethiopia. Once our Dossier is on it's way to Ethiopia we will officially be on the WAIT LIST and the count down will officially begin.
