So getting past the nasty skank feeling, Wednesday was the BEST day ever. I had great conversation with two girlfriends, both are beautifully in love with Jesus and fill a longing for friendship in my soul. And my husband surprised me with a Valentines dinner, one day early to catch me off guard. (Zios to-go, flowers and a card- very rare for him and very thoughtful.)
We went on the waiting list for a referral on Jan 30th. The agency is hoping to have a referral to us by Sept or before. If not, things may change... Vietnam is needing to sign some documents to continue adoptions- if they sign, we will stay with VN, if not, we will pray about switching countries. Either way, we are in a win-win situation because we know that God sometimes redirects the journey to bring home your child. As He did in our first adoption, started in Kaz- ended in VN.

Thank you for all your love and support!

"Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of rememerance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name. 'They will be mine,' says the Lord Almighty in the day when I make up my treasured possessions." Malachi 3:16-17

I LOVE the glasses!!! And I LOVE the boyfriend pics! They are too cute together! Her and Dylan holding hands is precious too, but can I claim her for Zakary, please?! ;) I will be praying steadfastly for your referral. I know about God's journey and His direction and I know that you will end up where He ultimately wants you, with the child that He has planned. I can't wait to see the blessings that He bestows upon your beautiful family! We will be in Tulsa for several days next month when Joey is away. We need to set up another playdate. I'll e-mail you!
I am cracking up about the skank part!!! I get cold sores too and I don't even want to leave the house... I SWEAR by abreva though - it is worth popping for, trust me!
You are silly. I never thought you looked like a "nasty skank". I guess it's like anything-YOU notice it a whole lot more than anyone else would ever notice. This too shall pass ;)
Too Funny!!! I love the sunglasses pics...she is truly adorable! I can't wait to see her little brother or sister!

What's up Skank! Avi Joy looks so pretty in orange. Your mom looks cute, too. I almost thought it was me in the picture - lol! I thought to myself, "I didn't go to Lunar New Year, so what am I doing in this picture?" :) That is what not going to bed early enough will do to a person. Let's play soon....
Your Au Dois (sp?) are beautiful. (That is what their called isn't it?) Did you get them in VN? Of course the girls wearing them are beautiful, too!
