Positive thinking -- we WILL pass court next week!

I'm feeling better about things today and am pretty hopeful that we will pass court next week. IF we pass next week, Grace is going to do what she can to get us an August 13 consulate appointment so that we can still travel before Derrek's wedding.

If we don't pass and/or she can't get us an August 13th consulate appointment, then we will have to postpone travel until the second week in September. That would be a huge bummer and make me sad, but it's just the way things will have to go. If we can get an August 13th consulate appointment we can travel and be home with the girls for a couple of weeks before the big wedding date. If it gets pushed even one week, then it's too risky and we'll wait. We would be afraid that either 1) it would be too much activity for us and the girls to come home to a wedding a few days after our return or 2) we could have problems getting home and miss the wedding or 3) if we have any traveler's sickness we'll be sick for the wedding.

Derrek's wedding is on Labor Day weekend, so if we can't get an August 13th consulate appointment, then we'll wait until around September 6th (after the wedding clean up and send-off). Please say some prayers that this doesn't happen. I really hope we can go get our girls in August. I have a good feeling about it this time!
