wow - crazy day! So we travel a week from Tomorrow! OMG is about all I can say. I'm not feeling well, overwhelmed and just going CRAZY. I need to get to a DR tomorrow and mine's not taking anyone - NONE of the dr's have openings. NOT fun. So looks like I'll find a new one.
anyhow I had a conference call with the wonderful other mom's to be and Sally at the agency today for answering questions. While on the call Sally informed Sarah and I our first court date PASSED today! (well her's yesterday and we anticipate the other two families tomorrow - yeah). So then she sent me a note - our letter is there and Done! This usually takes up to 2 weeks AFTER our appointment - so this is done about 2 weeks early! AMEN - as our friend Joanne said when I picked Nate up tonight - its a God thing - he wants this boy home! Its all working out because God wants THIS CHILD WITH US! I think - no - I KNOW she's right.
Then I was asked to speak at LOGOS's - this is our children's week night group at our church. Unfortunately I work too far away to get Nate there every week -but they asked if I could speak about adoption and Ethiopia! I was TOTALLY shocked when the kids brought two huge basket of donations for us to take! Not only did the parents donate things but many of the kids used their own personal savings! AMAZING! Truly amazing. The sweetest thing. I get tears in my eyes just typing this!
Anyhow - our other friends found out they were officially submitted to the Embassy today - yeah for them! They were just there last week - so this is GREAT NEWS!
Just a few things to be thankful for this year! Very happy about that. Looking forward to it all! A few other things happening in our life - its just insane at the moment - but God works in mysterious ways.
Thanks for the support and please keep us in your prayers as we fly next week.
