Abigail's First Day at School

So since we cannot get home to attend school, we thought we'd see what school might be like for Abigail

Trapped In Utah

Dont get me wrong, we love Utah, but this is ridiculous. We flew in two weeks ago and every thing that could get stretched did get stretched out.
  • Amanda didnt go into labor on Thursday (Feb 7) but on Sunday (Feb 10)
  • The C-section required Amanda stay in the hospital three instead of two days, so placement got pushed back from 48 hours after birth (Feb 12) to 76 hours (Feb 13)
  • A missing photocopy pushed paperwork completion back from Wednesday (Feb 13) afternoon to Wednesday evening (too late to overnight the package to Salt Lake City)
  • The Salt Lake City interstate official received the paperwork on Friday and overnighted it to Phoenix, however, Monday (Feb 18) was a holiday so nobody touched the paperwork until Tuesday (Feb 19)
  • On Wednesday (Feb 20) the Phoenix interstate official decided to be extra "thorough" and required additional paperwork, but didnt tell anybody until too late in the day to finish it
  • On Wednesday the Ogden agency supervisor scheduled a Thursday meeting with Amanda to get additional papers signed, but that meeting was not until noon

So, hopefully, the papers will get signed and faxed to Phoenix in the early afternoon and we'll get the okay to leave Utah this afternoon. There is a 5:10pm and an 8:15pm flight that we can catch home if we get enough notice. Keep your fingers crossed!
