Ain't no party like a NOC party!

I'm sure the neighbors wondered what was happening this morning at the Quinley house when they heard screams at 7am!!! Well, me and the kids were having a NOC party! That's right.............
I got a text from my adoption agent to check my email and there it was! That precious little paper that we were told we would have in 2-3 weeks but waited 6 weeks for and were preparing ourselves to wait much longer for. That is the LAST piece of paper we wait for. We have filled out & signed & notarized & waited for enough papers to kill a forest! And my small group friends will attest that Erin & I were just at that point of giving in to the discouragement of waiting. We have gotten let down so many times. We know God is in control of this & we know to put our hope in him....but our emotions have gotten the best of us lately. Our emotions will do that ya know. And when you get so emotional it's sometimes hard to really hear from God. 
Someone once told me: don't follow your heart, lead your heart! 
So here we go again, waiting for a court date and her passport and a travel date. This will most likely be another few months of waiting, unless the Fathers plan is for next month, which would be fine with me (hahaha)! 
But for today, we WILL celebrate! We Will give thanks and praise to God for bringing justice to orphans and favor to us! So if you see me around town spinning and singing "pink ponies happy skies"! It's cause we got the NOC today and there ain't no party like a NOC party! 

Thanks for your prayers and all the encouragement! 
Lets bring this baby Home!!!!!
