My Husband

My husband is so good to me!


Lately I've been getting really bad cabin fever. I just feel like I don't go anywhere here in Colorado. Back in Missouri I had so many people I could just "run" to go see if I needed to get out. I could pop over to the Kanakuk offices and see my Gran'ma and my mom and my friend, Beth, at any moment during the day. My girlfriend, Melissa, was at my house every single Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. Any afternoon, I could see my friends in the pick up line at school or just after school. I miss Tuesday nights at McDonald's with Kelly and her kids and I miss Becca and her kids moving in with us when both of our hubbies were out of town. I miss my dad taking my kids (one by one) in the afternoon for mystery trips and I miss my Gran'ma having my kids during the weekends. There was so much happening in Branson and so many people "happening" with. There was so much fellowship and love in my life!

I AM SO HAPPY HERE!!! I am SO HAPPY and I have some great friends! That is my disclaimer to this post! (Just a little FYI.)

However, here there isn't as much "popping" in or daily fellowship. I hang out at the house and work and clean and play with Gabby and Dax (on the days he is home), but I am missing my peer and family time! (I think the kids are missing it, too!)

So, Andy has been so good this week about trying to "get me out." He almost pushed me out the door to Bible Study yesterday morning so that I could have fellowship with neat women. He came home a little early from work yesterday so that I could go to the gym with Gretchen. It has been so special for me to see how aware he has been of my "missing" feelings this week.

THANK YOU, ANDY! I love you! And I am so excited for our trip to Hawai'i in two weeks for today (more blogging on that to come)!!!

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
