BLOGGER FUNK!

I have been in a serious blogger funk these last couple of weeks. There really is not much to report on in our adoption journey......we are waiting, waiting, waiting and still waiting. We haven't moved at all in the nine months that Bob and I have been logged in. Our paper work is still sitting in some room, somewhere in China waiting! Just like we are! I had really hoped that at least our paper work would be in the review room as that would have at least been a move as small as it is! But I don't think we are there yet and have no idea when we will be. I am deflated.

I would like to say a very BIG THANK YOU to my mother in law and father in law, they sent me a beautiful necklace that says "BELIEVE" and a wonderful card was included!!! It made me realize that this wait isn't only affecting Bob and I but our parents, my sister and nephew are all waiting too! They want their granddaugther, niece and cousin home just as much as we want our daughter home! All our lives are on hold WAITING! I will post a picture of my beautiful necklace tonight, sorry I haven't done it sooner! But I blame it on my blogger funk!

FRIDAY SNAPPLE FUN FACT.....

If you put all the streets in New York City in a straight line, they would stretch to japan!!

O.k., I thought this one was way to cool.......I am hoping for a straight line from NYC to China!!! But all I see is curves in the road!

SNAPPLE FUN FACT....

I thought I would start posting Snapple Fun Facts.....I drink alot of Snapple and find these little facts interesting!

So here is one for this week.....

Manhattan is the only borough in New York City that doesn't

have a Main Street!

UPDATE, NEWS, ETC....

My Aunt Maureen passed away last week. Aunt Maureen in one of my fathers 7 siblings. We had the funeral yesterday! If anything good could come out of a funeral it is that you see family members that you don't see often. It really made me realize just how big of an extended family I have and felt sad that we do not see them other then funerals and weddings. But, even though I do not see many of them often everyone asked about the baby. And I even received a few quilt squares from my other aunts. Emma is always with us!

Exciting news is that referrals come this week, the not so exciting news is that they only referred two days worth of LID's. I have to think that this had something to do with them being on vacation for Chinese New Years and haven't yet caught up. Rumor has it that another batch of referrals will come before the end of April, let's hope so.

Oh, and Happy Easter! Sorry I am two days late!!!

HAPPY LID ANNIVERSARY TO US...

Today it is officially 9 months since we've been LID! How many more??? Who knows??

Life is too short for drama
& petty things,
so kiss slowly, laugh insanely,
Love truly and forgive quickly
