Exciting Times

We went to the bank today and ordered our US funds needed for the trip. The bank Manager was very nice. I explained that we would need new bills and she told me that she would over look the ordering of the money. She suggested that we open up a US account. So we did. When we got home we ordered our plane tickets over the Internet. Now we have seat numbers. It makes things so real. I called Air Canada to order a ticket for Ava. The lady was very nice. She was of great help to us. She informed me that she has done this a million times before so she was well aware of how Ava's name has to appear on the ticket. That was a relief. I was a little stressed about that part. She even got us different seats than what we had actually picked out for the return flight. We picked seats near the back of the plane and she said that she knows from experience that when people fly back with their adopted child that the Air Canada staff tries to open up seats for these people at the front of the plane. So now we are near the front. We have a doctor's appointment for this coming Monday in order to go over Ava's file. Our adoption practitioner is coming over this coming Monday evening to go over Ava'a file with us. We are so excited right now. I honestly don't know how we are going to make it till July 23rd. That's when we fly out.
