I am behind once again but hey, I think I will be on it more now that all the work is done. We had our ACS appointment and all went well with us no questions asked. There were I think 2 families out of 19, I am sorry to say did have some issues, but I think they did get them resolved, thank goodness. After being able to leave our room after finding our paper work was all okay we did venture to the shop here
near the hotel and I got me some deals this time. I also have two new friends at the shop there. I told them I wanted to buy more stuff but they did not have the sizes I wanted. They promised me they would have it tomorrow. We never have made it swimming with all that is going on and how I have been feeling but that is okay, I got to go shopping. :) Wednesday and day 14 came around and we are doing good with keeping Mikayla on a schedule with me not feeling well and staying close to the room. We got our pictures taken as a group today with Mikayla's traditional clothes and squeaky shoes. She is a character. The best part of the day took more time to get there (30 minutes) and back (another 30 minutes) than for the actual venture. Today we took our oath in the ACS and got Mikayla's visa to get home. Mikayla is now an official U.S. Citizen. It was a teary time for many but I held my own. Today was not only a great day for us and Mikayla but it was also the best day for me since arriving here in Guangzhou. I felt so good I went back to the shop to do more shopping... hey, they told me to come back remember so I had to go. Needless to say, I did buy more and no worry's we did get another suitcase to get it all home. With all the work done there is not much left to do but relax and enjoy and I even feel more up to doing just that, of course it would be now that everything is don
e that I feel better but I guess it is always better late then never. A few of the families left earlier this evening and then the majority leave tomorrow morning. That leaves us and two other families leaving on Friday on the same flight. One of the families that were not in our smaller group (our province group)adopted an older (8 year old) and they are staying in the room next to ours and the little girl likes ringing our bell and running. She took a liking to me and is always seeking me out to play, she is not speaking english but we have fun laughing and playing in the hall, on the bus or where ever we see each other. So I know we will have fun on the long flight home. Maybe with most of the families gone and I think (yes I am not sure) all my shopping is done other than a trip to get some formula, maybe we will get to the pool or not. I guess we will have to wait and see. We will be home soon and I can not wait to bring my baby home so we can all sleep in our own beds. I will let you all know the flight we arrive on in STL when we get to LA so if anyone wants to meet us up there and get a sneak peek of Mikayla at that time before we get home and hiberate for a while, you are all welcome to do so. And if anything changes you will know from either us letting you know from Denver or if you check the flight information online. Hope to speak to you and see you all soon. All Shopped Out...NOT!!!!
