Waiting......
can be so very difficult. I feel like we've been in this state of "waiting" since December.....and, well, because we have. Waiting on our referral then our paperwork to head to China then to hear from grants then for more paperwork to be accepted then to hear back from China then to get approval for Norah and now for our travel approval. One stepping stone to the next. Now that we are on that final stepping stone before the bridge is gapped, it is SO HARD!!!! We want our sweet Norah Lei.
Tonight I took the kids to our Chick Fil A for a free meal tonight - all 3 of us were dressed up like COWS!!! No pictures were taken, as you can imagine it was humiliating :) But we all ate for nothin and it was lots of fun!! For several years now I have walked the mall in the morning, before the stores open. I have met the nicest lady who owns the pearl booth. She is from Hubei China and has really taken to Naomi. We talked tonight about Norah and she reassured me to come and let her talk to her and translate for me. She is very excited for us!!
Our dear Friends Brian and Heather got their TA (travel approval) today. We are hoping and praying we get to travel together and are hopeful we will get our TA next week then we can all book our consulate dates and move forward with our travel arrangements. They have waited for 4 YEARS for their sweet Mei Mei and we could not be more excited for them. What an honor to be on this journey side by side. Both our girls will need surgery when we return home and we'll continue to walk side by side :):)
Have a great weekend. I plan to take some more pictures soon!!! :):) What's a post without some pics??
