ONE YEAR AGO TODAY........

1 YEAR AGO TODAY.... MIKE & I WERE FLYING TO UKRAINE TO FIND OUR DAUGHTER
(Noah took this picture by the way.. not bad)
WE WERE LOOKING FOR OUR SECOND CHILD TO COMPLETE OUR FAMILY

BUT.... WE HAD TO LEAVE THIS SWEET BOY FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND WE
MISSED HIM LIKE CRAZY!!!


By God's grace we made it to Ukraine. We were completely physically and emotionally exhausted but excited to start the journey. We saw our little girl's picture at our SDA appointment on August 13th. Within a few days we met her for the first time. How time does fly. It is amazing how love, patience, good food and old fashioned sunshine can change a child.
I have a friend who doesn't live too far from me who is going through the same process now. She left today to get her precious child. Follow her journey here at www.jennandchrisandkpr.blogspot.com . Pray that things will go smoothly for her and her husband in this exhausting process. It's like I get to relive the whole process through her. How exciting!

We missed having you guys at Brooke's B-day party today. Hope you guys are doing good and we need to get together soon. I start school full time on Mon. to finish my Nursing so just let me know what weekend is good for you and we'll come up and do something.
