Aug. 24th

We had been told that our dossier would leave for Ethiopia last week -- the 17th -- but, alas, that is not the case. Apparently it is now heading out this week on the 24th. Have to say I'm bummed about that, but I'll get over it.

So, timeline is 3-4 months for referral and then travel about 2 months after that. This means we could have a referral before the end of the year and then travel early in '08. With Mark's work and my teaching quarter, that would work out perfectly. Now, let's see if it actually happens that way!
