End of the weekend

We bought a new car today. A Ford Escape in Kiwi green. I love it. I test drove it and just fell in love with it on Friday. The sales guy said he knew I would come back and purchase the Escape over the Edge. Said he saw it in my face when I drove it. Funny!

We finally found a rental car for hubby to drive home. It is amazing to me that the military won't fly the soldiers home. Okay, not a big surprise!! :-) He should be home Saturday evening. I am beyond excited.

Everyones been talking about signs they've had about the adoption and whether they should stay with China or not. I have to admit we had a sign. Hubby has been kind of out of the loop when it comes to the adoption. I tell him about it of course but, with him being away he misses out on alot. He told me last night that he had a dream we got our referral right before Christmas and it was the best Christmas gift we got this year. I was just so surprised to hear him say that he dreamed about it. To me it felt like a huge sign for us. I am beginning to have faith again for hopes of end of year referral for us. A small candle is still burning in the background for end of the year. :-)

Happy News!!!!

Good news is that my hubby is coming home for good from deployment. Yippie!!!! The bad news..... we have to get him home! You think the military would do this but, nope!!!

I am very happy he is coming home. Avery (our puppy) is very depressed from hubby's last visit. He misses him so much. Its makes me very sad. I know that in a week he will be home and we both will be VERY HAPPY!!!

Big decision on a car!

Well, we are looking at cars. We haven't had to pay a car payment in about 3 years. Its not looking good. I looked at the Ford Edge and Escape. I like them both but, am leaning on the Escape because its a 2008 and has some more extra's then the Edge which is a 2007. I was so suprised to find out the payments! They have gone up man! Just not sure what we are going to do now. Yikes!

When will Emma come HOME

Today is a blue day! Actually all week has been a blue day. I was very upset to learn CCAA had only sent 2 days. That really stinks!!!!!! I have tried to stay positive about this process. I am finally admitting that Summer 2008 might be when Emma comes home. I do have a little hope that some how and some way she will be home sooner! One can only hope!

I know people are trying to figure out whether to hang in here with the wait or to try another path. You cannot blame people at all. Do not think that I myself have not had those thoughts. I have many many times. I just always come back to knowing our daughter is in china. I would feel like we abandoned her and I cannot turn away just because of a wait. I have waited my whole life for a child. I have wanted to be a mom since I can remember. What is another 12+ months? Its hard and sad and makes me very angry at times but, I think in the long run when we are handed our daughter, all this will fade away. (I hope!) I am waiting for you Emma! How ever long that is honey!

Me in a Panic with the Adoption and Hubby chilling with Celeberties!!!
