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

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
