WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

YAY! WE ARE OFFICIALLY APPROVED BY IMMIGRATION!!! NOW ALL WE DO IS WAIT FOR THAT REFERRAL, WHICH COULD COME AS EARLY AS AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR!! WE ARE SOOOOOO EXCITED! PLEASE PRAY GOD CONTINUES TO BLESS OUR STEPS AND THAT HE BRINGS OUR BABY HOME SOON!!! I'M SO HESITANT TO EVEN SPEAK THOSE WORDS FOR FEAR SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG, BUT OH WELL!

ITs all good

OK so life has been crazy... as a lot of you know! This past year or two has been full of some crazy highs and some extremely low lows! I am thankful to say that life is once again back to normal! I am so thankful for all the blessings God bestows upon both nick and I. Over the past three days or so I've been occupied with the thought of being a mom possibly within the next year or so. CRAZY!!! I'm hesitant to get too excited just do the fact that we still need to hear back from immigration, but let me tell ya friends, I'm sooooooooo excited! As soon as we hear back from them I'm going to go nuts getting that baby room together! I've dreamed of being a mommy forever and the thought or that dream coming true melts my heart! I will keep ya's posted! I talked to our SW yesterday and she said for us to let her know when we hear from immigration that we are approved! That made me feel good that she didn't' even question weather or not we would be approved, but when we are approved! I know, i could totally be jumping the gun, but i cant help myself!

Probably the greatest need for the world today is for reconciliation. In order to establish a good relationship with others one must first admit his full share of responsibility; and if one has been wronged then he must be willing to forgive unconditionally- for partial forgiveness is not forgiveness at all....

things are good!

Some of you have been asking what the deal is with our adoption plans, while others remain in the dark about the whole thing! So for those of you who haven't' heard, Nick and I are hoping to adopt a baby from Korea! we are unsure of the time frame,but are told we could have a referral as early as august or September of this year! we are still waiting to hear back from immigration so we haven't told too many people yet, but whatever, God is in control of this whole situation so we will just trust Him! We are excited but are holding back a little just in case something happens and we are unable to adopt! Once we get the final word that its a go, stand by,the excitement will be unable to contain!
that's all for now folks!
take care
