Embassy Appointment is Monday should be HOME Wednesday

I was hoping to get my embassy appointment changed to today but they could only move it to Monday. In the scheme of things it gets me out of here 2 days earlier than planned. I will not breath easy until we land in Minnesota and know that we are on our way home. What a ride this has been!! I miss my family and yet have met so many people here that have taken me and Layla under their wing. Ginger and Maya and Deborah, you have made this stay bearable. Not to mention a little exciting!! Yesterday we packed in a little Mazda to go to the embassy doctor with the girls.... 5 of us in the backseat, laughing so hard that I am sure the driver wondered if we were LOCO.... It has not been all fun and the nights get very lonely but I do think the bonding that Layla has had with her Mommy will help when we get home to two very excited 4 year olds. We are considered the Marriott orphans. Everyone that leaves here tends to drop stuff by our room such as pedialite, water, or any left over food they have. We did not intend on spending this much time in Guatemala and the money ran out long ago. I keep joking that I am going to start a vending wagon out on the street with the free water and food from the executive lounge just to make it home. HOME SWEET HOME!! Never in a million years did I think I would be away from home this long when I walked out those doors 3 weeks ago. I haven't taken many pictures this week. Layla has been sick and fell and bumped her nose so she has a big boo boo.... I keep joking that I may have to put cover up on it when we go to the embassy Monday!
Little Zada made it home from Ethiopia and we can't Wait to meet HER!!
