It has only been 3 weeks today from the time we recieved our referral. Feels like an eternity! I keep thinking of projects to get done before Grace comes home. My list just keeps getting longer. Poor Terry! My house has been cleaned and organized inside and out. Painting projects along with some remodeling downstairs. Seems I keep finding more things to do around here. Im truely nesting! A trip to Florida would be nice...warm sun...a beach to relax on! auhhhh I guess i can dream right. Our word for 2007-08-09 seems to be "wait". Waiting is something Im not so great at. Although I have had to learn that no one can control this process, and all we can do is wait, ...wait on others to do all the paper work that is necessary to bring our little girl home. This is one of the hardest and yet joyful times in our lives. This process is truely in Gods hands. He has designed it all every single step of the way. He knew long before that we would be little Gracies family. Every child deserves a place they can call home, and a family that loves them forever and ever!

Tina,
I saw your comment on my blog about us now having to travel. DON'T WORRY! I see that you are with Holt and nothing has changed...if you are planning on escorting I am sure you will still be able to do so. Evidently, our agency's waiting program has as a requirement that you travel, but they failed to tell us that until last week. I know with Holt you can definitely escort! Loved seeing the care package that you sent to your sweet baby girl, too! :)
Hi Tina!
Everything sounds so exciting! I tried sending you an email but for some reason they kept getting returned, so I thought I'd try writing on here. I sent a package to you last week and I'm really hoping it gets there soon! It was last Friday so it should be any day now! I'm so excited to hear what you think of what I included! How exciting it's a little girl and I just happen to work at a children's store. She is going to be so spoiled! I hope to hear from you soon on whether or not you've received your package! Loads of love!
