it has been 6 1/2 weeks since our LOA was signed! 47 days to be exact....
Just thought I would remind you all :-(
We still have no word on our Article 5 being approved. It is looking less likely that we will leave on Aug 7. I know that God is totally in control and His timing is perfect, but it is still so very hard not to be impatient! At our travel meeting, Vickie said that we had to recieve our TA by July 29th at the very latest in order to leave on August 7th. We are praying that it is Gods plan for us to leave then so we can celebrate Sammy's 3rd birthday with him!! 22 days left...that is doable right???
I am feeling kind of whiney and mopey (sp?) tonight! I had an incredibly bad day today and although I am grateful for an incredibly supportive husband, I just can't seem to shake it off tonight. It is one of those days that you just want to curl up and go back to bed..ya know?
Anyhoo...I thought that I would share some of the pix from our 4th of July bash at my dads house. The last couple of posts have been sadly lacking in the picture department
Taylor and Great Grandmom
Emily and Auntie Bonnie
Taylor Practicing her Flag for Color Guard
Auntie Bonnie not doing so well with the flag :-)

6 little notes from friends:
I know how you feel about being in a funk and not being able to shake it. I am waiting for our I-800a approval (it has been two months) and still nothing;( I know we have so-o-o many more steps after this one where it's just sit and wait. I hope we both have a better day tomorrow;)
Love the new blog look!
Sending hugs and prayers your way!....you are almost there, hang in there just a bit longer. The time will fade away just like a distant memory the second you hold Sammy in your arms!
Hang in there - i'm right there with ya! Waiting for the TA and had a bad day... something good is in store for us REALLY soon - i just know it! Praying for you...

Hi- You do not know me but I got your blog from somewhere, not sure where. I have adopted 2 babies from China and I wanted to encourage you. The final stretch is unbelievably difficult. Unless you have been there it is so hard to understand. The crazy thing is that once you get your TA and are frantically packing it seems to not be enough time. I know that God's timing is the best. I hope that all happens quickly but in God's time. Take care and know that you are in my thoughts.

Oh, this is so hard! I just want to encourage you and pray that you feel lifted up by all these wonderful comments. It's true-- you are ALMOST there! And still, I believe, within the realm of possibility. I'll keep praying.
be blessed,
Courtney
p.s. your family is beautiful and I love the new look of the blog
You all just have blessed me SO much! I am so grateful for your sweet comments. Today was a better day and I am hopeful tomorrow will be even better yet! Thanks so much for all the encouragement!
