Easy Peasy...as our youngest would say...

The long awaited day had arrived. Around 4:45 my dad came over to stay with the girls and get them off to school. We left for Sacramento at 5am on Monday morning. The trip was very smooth aside from a 15 minute delay due to a 3 car accident. We found where we were going without any problem and also found parking very easily as well. We arrived at the office at 8:20, just seconds, literally before another gentleman. We were instructed to fill out a form, which we did very quickly to be in front of this other man. The clerk came over looked at our two forms and then took them to process at his desk. We were prepared to have a 2 hour wait based on what other people experienced. So we sat for a minute and chatted with this other gentleman to find out he was there with his 17 documents for his families Russian adoption. Before we knew it our documents were ready and we were done. DONE. We were literally seconds ahead of a 2 hour wait. Whew. At 8:30 we were walking out of the Secretary of State office with our mission complete. Next business of the day was to find food. We had been up for 4 hours and had not eaten or drank anything yet. After a quick walk around the block for some fresh air we decided to drive to find some food. As we drove around we found a Denny's and decided to just stop there since we were now in the busy traffic of the morning. As we were waiting for our food we got a phone call from my brother, Josh with some news...
