Review Room!

July 06 LID's are now out of the review room! YEAH!!!! Now we wait again, next step referral.(still a very long wait). One more step to Katie!!!

As most of you who know me I don't often write but I have added a link on the side to my adoption journal.

I have recently returned from a MUCH need vacation to the beach. It rained some on our 2nd day but I was able to relax a lot. I sing to myself often just making up words as I go about whatever I am doing. It was nice to be among friends who love me for who I am. But reality was a hard slap in the face on Tuesday morning.

Girls Nite

Last night I went to my friend Elizabeth's house to be include in a girls night. Mike had poker night so it worked out perfect. Several of my friends that I haven't seen in a while were also there. It was really great to catch up with them. We made pizzas. We ate and talked for awhile and then we play trivial pursuit. It is also nice to be around friends.

Tornados

I am sitting here in Macon Georgia for the annual CEC conference (council for exeptional children). On the way here I did not see any but went through 2 counties with tarnado warnings. Needless to say I was a little nervous but I made it alive. Tomorrow I will be presenting about my trip to Japan and how I implimented what I learned into my classroom.

Compassionate Kids

I started a new blog that is calle Compassionate Kids. I will relate activities that I am working on with my students that will help enable them to become more compassionate. To visit this blog go to Compassionate Kids.

Heifer.org

I am currently trying to apply for another educational grant. This time to Honduras as a part of their Read to Feed program. My application is due by the middle of March and will find out if I win by the middle of April. I have been interested in Honduras ever since I sponsored a child from Honduras with Compassion. This was several years ago when I was working with some teenage girls and we decided to do this together. I will soon be purchasing the Hope basket from www.heifer.org in honor of soon to be daughter Katie Hope.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine's Day. After telling someone that My husband would never buy me chocolate for Valentine's, that he would buy me cards take me out to eat at a very nice restaurant, but he would NEVER buy me chocolate. He bought me chocolate, along with a bear and a balloon. Thanks sweety, I LOVE YOU! Have a wonderful day.

Long Time No Type

I am sorry folks that I have not written in a very long time. Life has been very busy once I returned from Japan. I am doing great and so is Mike. The adoption is still a year from now. I think that I will get a t-shirt that says "This Time Next Year". The wait time is now 16-18 months after your paper work has made it to China. As of this Sunday we will be longed in for 6 months. After we receive our referral we will then wait another 1-2 months before we travel so as I said before "This Time Next Year". Until next time take care. I miss all of my friend who I haven't seen in a very long time. I have also started another blog for our adoption call Our Journey to Hope I know that I talk about the adoption on this sight but this one will be totally dedicated to our Daughter.
