I can't sleep. I'm pumped up. My wife and adopted daughter are on their way home! [View all]

Right around Thanksgivivng I posted a thread about the fact that I have something to be thankful for, the fact that I'm getting a daughter. The day has finally come, after around two years of papewrwork, frustration, and money. I can't sleep right now because of the excitement so I checked their flight status at Narita airport, where they are at this moment. It looks like there are no delays and at 2:30 this afternoon they will be here! As stated, I'm pumped up beyond belief.
Tiffany Joy is finally coming to the USA! We are going to try like the dickens to give her a good life. Not a lot of material things, but a lot of love and certainly some good solid core values. Values like being kind to people and animals, do not steal, do not lie, whatever you choose for a career path, give it your best shot. And above all else, DO NOT BECOME A REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!!!!! That is the one rule I will be unbending on. Anyway, thank you for indulging me. Think I'll go downstairs and run laps around the living room or something. Or windsprints up and down the stairs. Or whatever. Good grief! I'm so excited that I'm starting to ramble. Guess I'd better go now.
