Care Package Received & Name...

Today, I received an email from our agency, that Chung Yi (Orphanage) received our care package to Anna! I hope they didn't laugh at us for sending so much stuff.

It makes me feel happy that Anna has stuff we have touched. I hope they play the bear over and over again so she can get used to our voice. I also hope that they do some major photo shoots with all the outfits we sent her :)

By the way, Aaron & I have decided we are naming her

Anna Li Grace ~ We had the name Anna and Grace as the middle name before finding out who she was, but now that we know her first name is Li-Xuan, we decided to incorporate the "Li" into her name. We think we'll probably call her Anna Li to start until she gets used to the name Anna. The name "Li" means strength... Anna means Favor, or Grace and Grace means... grace :) So, we know she'll have STRENGTH while surrounded by God's DOUBLE GRACE.

Portland Marathon 2013 (My First ever Marathon Recap)

I wanted to capture my moment by moment FIRST marathon experience so here goes: I'll start with the night before: We went over to Aaron's parents house to have some dinner with them as well as Micah & Danielle (Aaron's brother and wife) and their kids, Gabriel and Grace, and Mathew and Taylor (cousins of our kids).   We got back to our hotel (Hilton downtown) around 7:15pm and I organized my outfit for the big day while Aaron took the kids swimming at the pool.  I agonized back and forth about whether to carry my Nathan hydration vest or not for a week and Aaron finally helped me make the decision that although the aid stations were going to be plenty, I should go ahead and carry my own water.... because he knows that  1) I don't like stopping to get water even if it's a moment because I feel like I lose momentum 2) I am really BAD at drinking from the cups and have gotten multiple water sloshes up my nose (which hurts!) and water on my shoes (which, is BA...

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...
