So, I haven't really had any news to share. Things are status quo and the days pass with little or no news. This journey has really tested my patience and given me a new perspective on many issues. I guess some things just can't be rushed regardless of how badly we want them. I know there will be light at the end of tunnel, I am just hoping it isn't an oncoming speeding train. Most of my adoption comrades have already posted the following information but if you are curious and need information on what the delay is all about please look here. In addition, there is a petition advocating change to the new "stream-lined" process?
We had company last week and it was like visiting with a dear friend I hadn't seen in a very long time. My new friend totally rocks. We had beautiful weather, lots of beach time, plenty of wheat grass juice (mmmmm!), painted pottery with huge chalices of "Mondovi?" (did the girl really pronounce it that way?), hot spicy pho, spent a fantastic morning on the water on the boat and just generally enjoyed each other's company. I truly hope the next time we see each other we are meeting each other in an airport to pick up our daughters.
Happy Easter! I love chocolate and there was no way I could have given it up this year for Lent. I have in prior years but with all the stress of the adoption, I knew I would be doomed to fail. Surprisingly I have stayed away from the Easter sweets. I love Cadbury Creme Eggs, well just the fake egg filling (I throw the chocolate shell away-I don't like Cadbury chocolate... I am kinda picky) and I can't believe that I haven't had one yet. Anyway, I gave up ice cream and I am so looking forward to Sunday. I already have the day planned and the menu laid out. Oh, here I come Pralines and Cream, S'mores, and Double Fudge Chunk!
This is as good as it gets..... for now but I am feeling an upswing after my huge spoonful of yummy ice cream on Sunday morning! Peace and love and of course the cold stuff!
