scary night ~ happy morning

yeah... so last night a rocket hit directly across the street from us.
VERY loud.
VERY scary.
i cried.
lots more rockets kept falling in the city, making it seem like the world was falling apart. but then, it was quiet, and we counted all our fingers and toes and baby bumps and everything was accounted for.
we're ok.
we're safe.
we slept soundly afterwards.
~*~
and so then this morning, a happy suprise... the embassy called us (yes! and not the other way around! it's a MIRACLE!) and said they have the paper they needed in hand so we can go tomorrow to finish up our paperwork!
VERY exciting.
VERY relieving.
i did a happy dance.
it's looking promising at the moment and i will write more tomorrow about how it goes... hopefully all will be well and we can travel soon.
we're happy.
we're cautiously excited.
we will most definitely sleep soundly tonight.
