7 Months Today.......Time Just Flies By

Wow....I cannot believe that 7 months ago today we submitted our application to our agency to start the adoption process. We are so blessed to have already met our little girl and are already two months through the waiting to get court dates......should be anytime now that we will get to travel back for court and legally become her parents. It's been an amazing experience so far and the best is yet to come. I wish I could hold her now but I know it won't be too much longer. I imagine her little nose and that infectious smile and it melts my heart. We love her so much, she is a part of our family and we need her. We pray for her every night...I am going to start praying that she will see us in her dreams so she will remember us when we get back. I read about this in an another adoptive parents blog and thought it was the sweetest thing.

A New Look....

I have been wanting to change the look of the blog for a while and well today seemed like a good day to do it. Not sure this is the final look yet but I have to see how I feel about it in a couple of days.
Still No news about our girl but we are staying hopeful that we might hear something this week. We are praying daily to get the call.
I hope to post this week about the exciting day...

Waiting and Waiting and Still Waiting

This week has been tough so far and it's only Tuesday. I am waiting for the "Call" and getting depressed about not getting the call yet. I know it's still early but man my stomach is a wreck. Monday I cried if anyone even looked at me wrong and well today everytime my phone rang I jumped.....I cannot believe it's almost been two whole months since I held my little girl. I know that God has a plan and knows when we are to go back but I want to go now. I miss her like crazy and find myself walking into her room several times a night just to look at the clothes in her closet waiting for her to wear. I have been really strong thus far and well I'm having a weak moment.
Please pray that we will hear something soon.

Just have to share....I love a Great Deal!!!

So I wanted to share my find at Target last night, I have been looking for a pair of warm boots so my feet will stay warm in Russia. I really love Uggs, but wow...I just cannot spend that amount of money on shoes..Just me..I'm well let's just call it frugale. :) So I found BearPaw Boots that look just like Uggs Boots and had really good reviews. These were between $50-65 dollars still more than I wanted to spend but I needed a pair. I was waiting to purchase them in hopes of a sale...see frugale..... but last night we went to Target to let Ethan spend his gift card money for his Birthday from his Uncle Mike and Aunt Julie and well I went to the shoe department just to look and you will never believe what I found.......On an Endcap was a box..the only box like it and it said "Pawz" by BearPaw...I thought No way. I opened it up and there they were..the boots I wanted and in my size ...can you believe it..and the best part is..They were an Online purchase returned to the store and on clearence for $12.63. I couldn't believe it. I did a jig in the aisle...It made my night and my day day today as well. Just had to share. It was like someone returned them there just for me. Funny how those things happen. It's like God smiles on you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year! I believe this year is going to be a great one. We had a couple friends over for New Year's eve and hung out with all of our kid's, we had a great time.
Then yesterday we had Ethan's 3rd Birthday Party..we actually did a double party with his friend Kelsey who is turning 6 today.
We took all the kids to Jump Zone and then back to my mom's for dinner and cake. It went really well. Ethan's Birthday isn't actually until the 11th of this month but with the chance that we could get a call anytime now to go back to Russia and sharing his birthday with Kelsey saved a little moo laa it just worked out to do it early. Now that we have his party completed, We can focus our attention on the things we need to do when we get the call. I'm hoping it's within the next couple of weeks. We shall see. It will happen when it's supposed to.
