A Little Slick, but Still Have Power!

So I have been feeling a little cooped up lately, so I thought that I would write a little. We had a small ice storm this past weekend, but nothing us veterans couldn't handle. Of course, we didn't even lose power which does make things a bit easier! Finally this weekend they are calling for some snow. We got sleds for Christmas about 3 years ago and have been able to only use them one time! I swear we had more opportunities before we got them! Well, on the adoption front we have to send our agency some more paperwork, mostly the new form that is now being required since it wasn't in with the rest of our paperwork! There's always something! With all the questions going on about our particular program/country I had this overwhelming sense of peace about our whole process the other day. I am confident that we were going the right direction. That doesn't mean that the journey will be easy or without heartbreak, it just means that it is the right one for use to be taking.

Just waiting and wondering

So like I stated in my last entry our dossier paperwork is gone and now we are waiting. So far it hasn't been long so I am still pretty sane, well I am at least just as insane as I was when we started so that is a good thing! There have been a lot of different things happening with our program and when I think about those I get anxious and a little nervous and just want to go over to get our child just so I know that everything is okay! It breaks my heart to hear of families coming back home without their child, but some of these families have such a good faithful outlook that I am encouraged by them and the way they face their disappointment. I have been substitute teaching and it keeps me busy and reminds me almost daily the many things Jeff and I have to look forward to. For example, today I subbed for a first grade class and as luck would have it a front moved through our area and brought with it freezing rain and sleet, not quite as fun as snow, but the kids were so excited about it they could hardly stay in their seats! Okay, so maybe winter weather gets me a little excited too, but having a child to share that excitement with, OOOOHHHH WHAT FUN!! Although after the wonderful ice storm we had last year and going 14 days without power I will say the white fluffy kind of winter weather is much more to my liking! Well, I have rambled on long enough! And for some of the bloggers out there that were wondering about being too early to make Christmas cookies...NEVER, I managed to get two batches of some of mine done already! Have a good Christmas Season!
