We went on Friday and did our "biometric fingerprinting". When we arrived there it was kind of funny because there was this huge line waiting outside in the cold windy weather. We were like "no way this can't be" Haha! So we got in line and Jared brought the chiefs blanket out and we huddled in it to avoid the cold air. After about ten minutes and no one seeming to know what's going on I decided to walk my little self in and find out what the wait was (do I get props for showing assertiveness??) ..turns out there was a ceremony going on for people getting their citizenship here in America. After talking with the officer (in a very calm and polite voice of course) and explaining our reasons for being there and that we were 15 minutes late for our appointment he said "Oh come on in you guys should not be waiting out there in the cold". And then the whole line of people outside proceeded to come in. Still not quite sure why no one had just walked in to ask someone what was going on. Jared complemented me on taking charge I guess I stood with my head lifted high that day =) not really. Anyways, It was funny to us. Once we got in the whole process was sooo fast. We were out in 20 minutes.
YAY for adoption, fingerprinting, long lines in cold weather, chief blankets, sweet police officers, family, and the food that followed at "Deli Mexicana" =)
