Case Solved!


I don't think the fun has been spoiled, Secret Pal, Cari! =) I'm so glad it is you. You really hid your identity well! I had NOTHING solid to go on...and I figured you weren't in Florida! Really, if this wait wasn't so frustrating and me being on summer vacation with nothing to do, I probably wouldn't have spent hours trying to suss out who you are!
I figured you were married by the way you wrote that kind comment regarding the singles program possibly closing. Previously you wrote that you were in China with your Mom so I wasn't sure if you had adopted already. The blonde hair comment gave me nada! Last week I was talking about blogging with a friend and started playing around with the sitemeter. I noticed a Minnesota viewer popping up right around the time you left comments. Of course I raced over to the Feb DTC roster and found several families in MN. One was married, with a daughter from China and moving to Florida. But the website hadn't been updated and they sounded too busy to be doing this. The others weren't right somehow. And then there was NO website listing for you. Aaaargh. Then I started reading some of your comments on other blogs and realized that Cari might be the Cari with no website, but clicking on your screen name gave NO blog. Dead end (but love your party pants picture!).
Anyway, yesterday I just couldn't read anymore RQ comments and went over to the Feb DTC blog. I clicked on some of the names of the particpants and (thankfully) *Cari* was near the top. Still no MN confirmation, but I found a post with If happiness is in your destiny, you need not be in a hurry and it was sooooo you! I swear I said Yes! aloud and pumped my fist in the air! Also, the blonde hair, frequent traveler and talk of Florida (you sent my boxes from Stacey, Jon & Mia's address!! VERY CLEVER!!) Then you affirmed my guess today and to validate it all, I got your WISH postcard this afternoon. So timely and so optimistically you! Thank you! (And yes, this time it had a MN stamp!) Cari, I'm so glad to "know" you and be able to follow your journey to your little girl! What fun I've had figuring out your identity. You are an awesome pal, secret or not!

Wow, you are too funny in trying to figure out who your pal was. I love not knowing and look forward to the reveal, I love the suspense.
