Final Decree, Court is DONE!

We received an email yesterday that our court process to adopt Anna is FINISHED! The night before, I had the most VIVID dream of holding Anna in my arms. In this dream, I was alone in our house and I was excited to put a hair bow in your head and I was trying to find the softest one that wouldn't hurt her head because she didn't have alot of hair to work with. I was just FULL of peace and joy as I held her and it was so realistic. I woke up feeling like we were going to get some good news and we did!!! Thank you, God for answered prayer and perfect timing!

Next step... The orphanage is working on setting up a travel date for us based on how quickly they are able to submit medical information and passport information for Anna to the AIT and then make our AIT appt (consulate appt).

Hopefully, we'll know more early next week so that we can begin making travel arrangements!!

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...
