my anniversary surprise

For our 5th anniversary, my sweet darling husband surprised me with a trip to Disneyland! And we're leaving tomorrow! I'll be sure to post pictures once we're back home. I admit, this vacation has come at the best time... we could sure use a hiatus from all the stress in our lives. Of course we still have our concerns, but at least this will be a nice distraction. All we can really do at this point is to pray about our situation. We're hoping that, God willing, this "situation" will come to a conclusion.

is it really only thursday?

This week is just dragging along, mainly for two reasons: 1. We're hoping to get "that call" this weekend or early next week regarding our adoption, and 2. I've been sick since Monday and can't wait for this cold to end. I've only been to work for about 19 hours this week and I am very much looking forward to the weekend, so I can try to get some rest and recover. I know I'd feel much better if I could just sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. Whatever I have has gone to my lungs and I'm in a constant struggle to get a good breath. When I finally fall asleep, I wake up minutes later gasping for air. Oye! (Yes, I have been to the doctor... they said to let it run it's course) One thing I've noticed this week, through Facebook and blogs, is that EVERYONE is getting sick. Guess it comes with the changing season! So to all you fellow sickies out there - I hope you feel better soon!

still waiting...

A week ago we were given some saddening news regarding our son and adoption. We're still praying about the situation and are waiting for "that call"... until then, we are just asking God to watch over our little one.

landslide

Yesterday there was a massive landslide here in Washington. Click here to be taken to the news article about it. It goes to show you the amazing force of nature.

Please say a special prayer this week for me, nick and especially our son.
I don't care to comment more about it right now.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
