So much to tell........ Last Tuesday David and I had our fingerprint appt. It went well, they were very nice and treated us well. Unlike past visits for the Johnsons. Of course we got the same ole answer........ How long you ask, we have no idea? Hopefully this week we will no something about our I800 and have an approval. We have spoken to a representative from Homeland Security who has told us that our I800 has been approved upon fingerprint clearance. So now the waiting begins again. We are almost ready for our dossier to be sent. We just need I800 approval on paper and my birth certificate. (which comes from Ca, so wait on the postal service) We have everything else.
Also this week we will start what seems to be the never ending pile of garage sale stuff ~ treasure. We as a family have been working all weekend on finding, pricing and packing all our treasures. Thanks to those special people who bought before so that we don't have to pack it up. We have cleaned out cabinets in the kitchen, closets in the laundry room, and in our bedrooms. We have also went through and got rid of some of those items you never think you can part with until there is a child in the picture that is waiting for you to come and hold him or her. Our garage sale will be May 8 and 9th and we will price, pack and load up all the stuff ~ treasure at the church that has been donated to us. Thank you so much to all of you! Connie and I feel this is going to be a great garage sale because the Lord has blessed us by so many donations by friends, family and church family. We also have the best treasures of all from two previous garage sales. We are truly blessed to be loved by so many people who want to help us bring our little girl home. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
We are happy to announce that our little girls name will be: EMILY!
This is something that we as a family wanted to do together and we have come to the agreement that this is her name, not sure about the middle name but we are 100% sure that her first name is Emily, so now in our prayers she is prayed for by name!
It is with much excitement that we also share that Ashley has applied and has been accepted to be part of the National Honor Society through Ringwood High School. Honor Society is based on GPA's and volunteer work and accomplishments. Her ceremony will be Tuesday night. We are very proud of you Ashley!
Give thanks to the Lord, our God and King, His loves endures forever!

So many things to be thankful for...you are all truly blessed.
Looking forward to share in Emily's "first" when it comes to Grandpa's Tacos, her first giggle, her first hug she gives me, her first Gulick-Mueller Christmas, her first trip to Sonic, her first peek at family pictures, her first Barbie, her first day of school, her first minor boo-boo, her first trip to Disneyland (one of many, I'm sure), her first Oklahoma snow, her first vision of all the family members who love her, her first play-time with the "cash register toy", her first trip through the lawn sprinkler, her first over-night with us, her first cartoon, her first 'White Water' visit - actually...her first everything.
It won't be long now!
Love the name you've chosen! :-)
Of course, I could be a little biased since that is our oldest dd's name, but it's still a lovely name. :-)
