3 More Days to Gracie


Ohhhh my goodness!! Only 3 more days until we meet our sweet little Grace face to face. I always pray that the moment our eyes meet that there will be a huge connection, that God will give her the feeling that she is HOME! I have stared at her pictures for almost 3 months now, and I have everything about her memorized! To see her come off the plane with the escort I know my feelings will be overflowing with excitement! We have tons to do to prepare for leaving, so this will make the time go very fast for us. The kids are jumping with excitement today. Terry is getting things lined up at work. He plans on taking two weeks off. Since I run our dance studio business, and we are getting ready for our big spring production, I have made plans for some friends that will fill in for me and cover dance classes, so they will continue on. We still have some loose ends to tie up with more details for the show, but will get them done in the next two days. It will be great to have some great family time. One of my dreams was to bring our Gracie out on stage with our family at the end of the show. I'm so Thankful to God that this now will happen! After May 2nd (after our spring show), I will have the next 4 months off. What PERFECT timing GOD has!!

Oh my goodness - I'll bet you are just on pins and needles waiting for THE DAY to arrive. What a blessing. Try to get some rest and I pray the next 3 days go quickly for you. I can't wait to see pictures of your sweet baby girl.

Congratulations! I know just how excited you are!! We got that same long-awaited call 20 years ago, to pick up our little girl in Denver. She met us with a smile & instantly fit into our family. I sometimes forget that she is adopted! I pray that you, too, will have that connection with your miracle baby!!
