Quotes for the day

There's a thin person inside of me screaming to get out, but I keep her sedated with chocolate.

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

31 months of waiting.................

Today marks the 31st anniversary of our LID.

All I can do is let out a big sigh.
And pray that 2009 will be our year.


Have I told you guys that I really want to be a mom?

I really do.
Honest - I do.

Brrrrr...........

Baby it's cold outside!!!!

Actual temp: 9 below zero!!
With the wind: 27 below zero!!!!

What's up with that?!?!?!?!?!

I so shouldn't have to go to work in this kind of weather.

Note to self -- buy lottery tickets tonight after work.

Stay warm everyone!

Shopping again!

~~~~ UPDATE #2 ~~~~

Just got the FedEx package with the clothes. They are adorable -- I just love the little jumper/dress -- SO cute. And it's lined too!!!! I think that's my favorite piece that I ordered. But the skirt is really cute too. And the pants are lined and have an adjustable waist. Ok -- I really like everything!!!

~~~~~~~~~

Ok -- I'll admit it. I'm back to my old ways again. I've been doing some stress relief shopping.....again. Back in December -- you know -- a long time ago -- last year -- I found a cool new site for some adorable clothes -- kids clothes -- what else is there?!?

It's: http://www.cocobonbons.com/

In December I bought three outfits from the Owl collection. I bought 3T's since I'm clueless on what size our daughter will be. But I'm sure she'll be smaller than that when we get her. The clothes are all adorable. Got them right after Christmas -- I love them -- very cute. And you all know how I love orange -- I do -- just in case you haven't noticed from the blog.

I checked the site this morning -- and they are having another sale. Like 70% off! So I bought 4 outfits in the BonBon collection. I bought 24 months -- since that's what I could get all 4 outfits in. I just love pink and brown together. And this way they will mix and match -- right? And who can resist 70% off? Their boy collections are really cute too.

I so need to get this package before Sonny does.

~~~~ UPDATE ~~~~
Conversation after dinner:
Me -- I did a tiny bit of shopping today. (in my soft I love you voice)
Sonny -- I know, I read the blog.
Me -- No comment -- too shocked to know what to say.

Note to self -- hubby reads the blog.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful year to come -- may all your dreams and wishes come true.

I'm toasting to some of mine coming true too!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

30 months today.......

Hi all,

Well today we have officially been logged in for our daughter from China for 30 months. I can say we have had many ups and downs over the past 30 months. It's been an experience of will, faith, and patience. All have been tested -- many times over. I guess that God has a lesson to teach us on this journey -- we just don't know what it is -- and maybe never will. All we can be sure of is that out daughters are in China. And we know in our hearts and deep in our souls that this is true.

Last week we had the highest and lowest point of this 30 month journey happen within 4 days of each other. We are still trying to understand it all. And just like God's other life lessons we might not ever understand the reasons or why it all happened. I can say that our faith in this adoption is as strong as ever. We know in our hearts that in the end everything will work out just how God planned it.

We know that 2009 will bring much joy and peace to us. We only wish this and everything else good for you and your families this holiday season.

Much love,
Sherry
