Today's the Day!!!

It's GOTCHA DAY!!!!
Can't even begin to describe my feelings!!! I'm so excited but yet at peace about it all!!! I think that's why I was ok and understanding about not meeting her yesterday! We are covered by prayer and truly feel it! At least I do! ;) it's great knowing I've got family and friends praying for us on this awesome journey!!!! :) one I never thought I'd see the day! But it's here!!!! Praying that Ella will feel comfortable around us and start to understand what's going on!

Our guide Michael told us that this city is known for a few things... Liquor and waterfall... Guess I really can't buy one thing from here for her! Gonna try and visit the waterfall, but def not buying her liquor!!!! :) He also told us there is a wild monkey park!! I soooo wanna go!!! He said if Ella is up to it he would take us! Curt and I are saying we are going to waterfall and monkey park! :) praying we can!!

Will try to post pictures as soon as we can, but we have to go to lobby and get on the wifi and then VPN... Got NOTHING up in the room!! :/ not even a text will go through! Also not sure what time we will get back to this hotel with Ella! :)

I've got my gifts ready, my back pack is packed with 2 suckers (yes, I'll bribe if I have too), bubbles, crayons and coloring book, the little owl loveie I got from my FB secret pal, and the blanket I got from Gayle and their church, part of my church network! It's a prayer blanket, both Ella and Keegan have one and am so very thankful for them!!!

Thanks again for all your prayers!!! <3

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
