As time goes by...

Okie dokie, I was doing a-ok with this whole waitlist thing until the last month or so when I have been telling everybody who asks..."Any day now!"  I am having those thoughts like...Have they lost our file?  Maybe there is a problem.... What if we don't get through court before rainy season?  The list goes on...Many of you know what I am talking about.  I used to stalk the FBI list multiple times a day and now I just wait for the email notification on my phone for a post to the Gladney Africa message board...(I have decided that is the fastest way to hear stuff.)  I wasn't even able to listen to the update call today for fear I might hear some discouraging news. I find 3:00 is a tough time of day, because I start to realize "the call" probably won't happen that day, but on the flip side, 9:00 am is a very hopeful time...The whole day is ahead of us!  Last night, Katie asked me "What if there aren't any babies left when we go to Ethiopia Mommy?"...From the mouths of babes!  Anyway, I have much to be thankful for and my heart goes out to everyone in the process...especially those experiencing trials much greater than mine.  Here's to 9:00 am tomorrow and another day of possibilities!!  

On a separate note, Katie had 60's day at pre-k today, so I thought I'd share her "Peace and Love" look...

  1. Thinking of you today - out of the mouth of babes is right! No more babies when we get there...it even stopped my heart for a minute! Hope you hear soon if you haven't already!
