Praise the Lord!!! We received our LOA phone call today!!!! YEA! YIPPEE!!! At 3pm, I was sitting at the ball field here in PCB and the phone rang. I could not see who was calling because of the glare! I knew it was not my husband because he has a special ring tone so I answered the phone and heard Erin's voice on the other end "Sherrie your LOA arrived today"!!!! I just about killed myself trying to get off the bleachers so I could jump up and down. I ran down past the dugout with Erin still on the phone...Justin was playing 3rd base....by this time he was looking at his mom like she had lost her mind. He looked at me and I gave him a big thumbs up and he then returned a big thumbs up and a huge smile to me. This is when the tears starting flowing!! I have been waiting a month for the phone to ring and expecting a morning phone call and here it is the middle of the afternoon and I can't even see who is calling me! I was so afraid that I would miss the phone call and there it was right beside me on the bleachers ringing....I am still in shock!! It will be a long night...I don't see how I will be able to close my eyes and sleep tonight. We are having our LOA Fedex to the beach so we can sign it and return it tomorrow. This one last step has to be done before we can actually begin our travel planning. If all goes well, we are hoping to travel within 6 weeks!
Justin, I am glad that you didn't miss any balls at third base while you were looking at your crazy mom doing a victory dance!!!!
