Pretty Good Morning....

This morning we walked in and were able to get our federal fingerprinting completed 1 week early for our  I171h! Then all our papers that were sent to the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco arrived! Now we are off to get my medical notarized and then we will Fed Ex the medical form and Steve's birth certificate to Sacramento to get certified... We will have those papers Fed Ex'd to the Chinese Consulate next Wednesday...... We will then be waiting for the I171h to arrive and our dossier will be off to China!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


My Lucky Find


On a dusty shelf in a vacuum cleaner store....



The peach originated in China and has been cultivated at least since 1000 B.C.E. It has special significance in Chinese culture: The peach tree is considered to be the tree of life and peaches are symbols of immortality and unity. 

A Peach...held up by little boys.

Whittling it away and all the sudden...

Get fingerprinted for the Feds
Authenticate all the paperwork with the Chinese Consulate
Send off the Dossier
Wait 

A little more happenstance......
