The Last Step to Authenticating

7/25/11
The Assistant Stork took the form to the Department of State and Chinese Embassy today!

7/29/11
They picked our form up today and will be putting it back in the mail to us, so we should get it on Monday!  Yayyyyyy!  That was my plan, I'm so glad God and I were on the same plan!!!!!

Messed Up Return Label

7/22/11
The Mail Call people called today and had messed the return label up on our package.  When I overnighted the package yesterday  I also sent them a return overnight label.  The mail people filled that form out for me and reversed the addresses:(  Fortunately they caught it early and just needed an email address to send a new label, which they did!  Thankfully that was easy to fix!!!!!

Off to Washington

7/21/11
I have made copies and have everything in order and ready to go to the courier service!  We will pay the Chinese Embassy $20.00, the Department of State $8.00 and the courier service $65.00!  And she will be worth every penny!  My plan is that if I overnight it today and they receive it tomorrow then they will take it to Washington on Monday and it will take 5 days with the Chinese Embassy so they will pick it up next Friday and we will get it back on August 1st!  At least this is my plan!  I will let you know!  We will be out of town next week playing in the 12 year old All-Star tournament with Conner, so hopefully the week will go fast!!!!

Secretary of State

7/20/11
Tony took the form to the Secretary of State office today!  The lady there, who is very sweet, wanted to unstaple the papers and put them in the "correct" order.  I think tony alomst had a heart attack! He told her "No, I understand you think it needs to go another way, but please just leave it like it is and don't remove the staple."  LOL!!! Bless his heart!  I emailed the agency to double check the order and she assured me that they were fine!  I went and got the money order for the Chinese Embassy today and the plan is to mail it to the courier service tomorrow!!!!  The lady at the bank remember me from my last visit and told me to be sure and bring Emery by to visit wonce we get her!  She was so sweet!
