1 Year Since LID

1 year

I could not let this day go with by without acknowledging that fact that we have been logged in with CCAA for 1 year today. While for the most part my heart is at peace about this......here is my hope and dream..........She born......she is waiting for me......she is SN.......and I will bring her home during the summer of 2009. Waiting for you my love.........

Kim said...

Wow girl, I'd begun wondering if you had made it back from paradise or had decided to stay....looks like you have been very busy! Love the new blog design but I don't think you have ever had a blog design that I didn't love...you are just so creative!

Happy One Year Anniversary - one huge step closer to bringing your baby home!

Diana said...

First of all Happy 1 year! There is a little girl (or BOY:) waiting for you to complete your family!

Love the new header!!

Mr.Brian said...

I just do not understand why it has to take so long.And with the second one I think it should go faster.
Hmmmm maybe you and I should go kick some butt and tell them there are many of my friends waiting for their child and to hurry up.
You think they would listen to us two clowns???
I await with you for your second child to come home.
Praying for all you waiting parents.
Smooches....
Mr.Brian
