How much longer?

Just in case you were wondering how long we have until we get to our LID

Duration calculation results
From and including: Friday, February 10, 2006To and including: Wednesday, March 29, 2006
It is 48 days from the start date to the end date, end date included
Or 1 month, 20 days including the end date
Alternative time units48 days can be converted to one of these units:
4,147,200 seconds
69,120 minutes
1152 hours
6 weeks (rounded down)
When you look at it that way it sure doesn't look very long but when you break it down into how many days it takes the CC*A to get through that it could still be a very long time. Oh well, we are still excited.
I do wonder sometimes why we got a LID of 3/29/08. During that time log ins were getting done very quickly so we were very disappointed for it to take so long from DTC (date to China) to LID (log in date). We had all of our papers in to our agency mid December but because of our holidays and then the Chinese holidays it took that long to get it sent to get all the seals and then back to our agency. Then our file was held in China to have a big group all go in at once so it ended up taking 5 weeks to be LID. Sure at the time we were disappointed with the date but then realized it was LID on Mike's birthday so we felt it was a sign. At that time we thought, oh well, not a huge deal, what was a few weeks going to hurt?! What were we thinking? That few weeks could make a HUGE difference. A few weeks could mean 6 or more months longer until we see sweet Emma's face. Who would have ever thought that? We just keep telling each other that God has a bigger plan and Emma will only be ready in his time. I just have to remind myself of that a couple of dozen times a day!

Emma will be worth the wait whenever she gets here and that time IS fast approaching. Stay strong and positive it will all be worth it in the end. It was great seeing you, Mike, DeeAnna and Glen a few weeks ago we should do that more often. Love you all. Linda
