Esther is my HERO!

And although the biblical Esther truly is one of my long-term heroes, I'm talking about Esther who works in Congressman Tom Perriello's office, whom Katya met last summer. Esther just informed me that our I171-H is IN THE MAIL!!!  Although it will be very good to have that gold-plated document in hand, it is GREAT to know that it is actually wending it's way toward our home even now!  Thanks SO much for your prayers!!!  And a special thanks to you, Esther!

Oh, and since the I171-H is almost here, our apostilling adventure will be postponed until it arrives.  :)
