The Raymer's Ethiopian Adoption: We are officially married!

We are officially married!

Today we received our marriage certificate. I guess that means that Dottie and I are officially married. It's kind of depressing really. We have just a few more items in our paperchase and then we really begin waiting. Particularly we are waiting for our appointment to get our fingerprints. Of course, once we have that we will then wait to actually go get our fingerprints. And then...well, it's a bit depressing to list all the stuff you wait for so I'll just stop there.
