Back to the Future

I think it was a mix of being overwhelmed, being tired and a bit of nothing to say that has kept me from posting for a while. I read your blogs while I was on hiatus and as usual was entertained, so thanks for that.

I have had to make myself numb over the past year in dealing with the adoption. I just couldn't think about it or dwell on it anymore. I don't think we were mistaken when Heavenly Father let us know that our little girl was halfway across the world, and since I know that...I wait.

So moving on, 2009 was kind of a tough year for us, but we have high hopes for 2010. Since I need more than to just sit around at home waiting for the kidlet to come home...I have found myself a new job. It happened suddenly, but I felt it was the right fit. It is exactly where I want to be, in Oncology research helping people on clinical trials receive the best treatment regimens that are available. I love this area of work. Most of the patients I deal with have angel hearts and I learn much more from them than I could ever give back.

Anywho, just an update from our camp. We are hopeful, happy and excited to see our LID getting closer. I hope you all are well and happy too!

1200

1200 days today. What does this mean anymore? I'm not quite sure I know. Is it that Emma has not been born yet? Is is the amount of days my heart has yearned for her? Is is my hope, my dread...my dream??? I don't think I can say right now, all I know is that for the moment I am at peace.

Fall Pictures

Here are a few pictures of Lyssie Lou we got this afternoon. Isn't she beautiful? Course I can't take credit for that, but the pictures were taken by little old me. Think of what I could do with a REAL camera.

Her comment on the afternoon..."These would be cute without my braces." LOL!!

Happy Haunt Day!

Here are the little tricksters this year

Lyssie singing with her group.

This very talented young guy sang "This is your song" by Elton John. It was an awesome performance.
