Roller coaster ride








Wow this journey sure does take you many places.....The highs and lows we en dour......
No news for us, looks like a little more waiting has to happen for us. We are really hoping something magical will happen and we will make it before the courts close, but it is really not looking promising. I just can't feel sad, so many people have had such harder and painful journeys then ours and I look up to all of them for there strength and have to stay positive. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, I just don't know when. I get to look at our daughters picture, dreaming about the day we will one day meet, and hoping it will be sooner then later.

Keith and I had a great 4 day trip to Victoria. Sunsets, happy hour, naps, walks, more happy hours, we loved it, and hope to go back very soon. It was real funny when we arrived at our hotel and found out that they are dog friendly, but only for dogs up to 50 pounds. Our sweet gentle giant is good 90 pounds plus. We quickly, kind of sprinting like ran to our room, I turned and saw the front desk mouths drop, they kindly said nothing our whole stay. Benny did great and got so much attention the whole trip, he was a celebrity, everywhere we went people would stop us to ask about our dog. people were in awe of his size. I guess he is huge. But Keith and I really enjoyed ourselves discovering the island and all its beauty. It was a great anniversary.

So now we wait and see what happens in the next couple months about our journey to our little one. We will keep you posted......

I'm so excited for you to see your sweet baby girl for the first time - my friend, I have to tell you - nothing can prepare you. You think you can tell from the pictures - but then you're holding her in the flesh, and it's surreal, and there they are...smaller than you thought, sweeter than you imagined, better than you could have ever put words to.

I can't wait!

I too am hoping it is sooner than later for your court date. How will they reschedule court dates that have already been assigned? Well, I will be praying that all your paperwork is in order on your court date that hopefully will be as soon as MOWA opens back up with perfectly trained individuals who will process your papers quickly! Is tha asking too much?
