As time goes by....

Well, we are well into the long wait regarding our adoption! Generally its fun to dream of when we have our little one home with us, yet at times it seems like just that, a dream... I thought when we were approved by Korea it would feel real, and it did for just a moment. The next step was getting approval from immigration. Once that step was completed i thought for sure this adoption would feel real, and once again, for a split second it did feel real. Now are kind of in limbo, just waiting for that day when we will receive that referral with the pic of our little boy or girl! We have no idea when that day will be, so we are just going on with our lives, knowing in the back of our minds that one day, hopefully in the near future, we will be parents! I am grateful we are so busy because it takes the focus off of the fact that we are indeed waiting. But i must confess, some days i wonder when we will have him/her home with us! I sure hope God continues to bless this whole process and keeps things smooth and consistent! I also pray that He gives us endurance, patience, and hope for through those times when things may not go smoothly!

God is good...........

Well, thanks to all those who prayed for my friend Melissa... I was able to chat with her a little bit over the phone the other day! She wants to come visit us sometime soon. Please pray i get the opportunity to share Gods love with her!
thanks once again!!!

Just A Small Bummer............

OK, so i talked to SW today.... It went well although i feel a little bummed. She said that we are half way between the waiting for a referral list, which means we probably won't have a referral by august. She said it could happen, however its unlikely due to the fact that referrals are not coming in consistently right now. She said hopefully by the end of this year, which is around January. So with all that said, this means we may have our child home by spring of summer of next year. Things could totally speed up in the referral department, and there is still a chance we could have our referral by august or September so pray pray pray that God keeps the process speedy and we have our baby home sooner than later!
Thanks all...

Our God is so good!!

Life has a way of surprising us sometimes. Today i feel so thankful for all the people God has put in my life who love me and walk with me through this journey called life. I am so happy and grateful to God for the awesome relationship he has allowed my mom and i to share. I have always wanted a close relationship with her but never thought it possible. We actually were never close until i was in my early twenties. Once she moved to Michigan our relationship was challenged quite a bit. It was as if we were getting to know each other for the first time, crazy as that sounds. After spending much quality time with her over the past five years, we have developed an amazing friendship and treasured mother daughter relationship that i never dreamed possible. I admire my mom in so many ways. She is such a sweet and giving person. I love her with all my heart! So i guess you could say this post is dedicated to my momma! I love ya!

Spring is here!!

Spring is here!! Yay!! Although the weather is still chilly, today the sun is shining and that makes all the difference in the world! The store is coming along and we excited to see just how busy we'll be once summer break begins! We haven't started the nursery just yet, but we did begin clearing the baby room out so we can start painting etc. when time allows! Still can't believe we are going to be parents!
