DTE
yesterday was the day.
we got the official e-mail telling us that February 25, 2010 was our Dossier to Ethiopia day :)
my eyes welled up when i read it.
so much weight lifted off of my shoulders to have the paperwork done,
but so much further to go
it was bittersweet, really.
but i am thankful.
so thankful that we are one small step closer.

trusting in this today...
Sometimes God takes us into deep waters where we lose control of the situation, and we have no choice but to fully trust in His care for us. If God chooses to take us into deep waters, it is for a reason. The greater the calling, the deeper the water. Trust in His knowledge that your deep waters are preparation to see the works of God in your life.

roller coaster
yesterday was a great day.
we finally mailed in our dossier :)
huge, huge weight lifted.
and i had been looking forward to hearing word from a friend, traveling to pick up her daughter in ethiopia. she was delivering the first care package to our sweet girl.
she was so helpful in giving me ideas on what to send, and promising me she would take lots of photos for us, and love on her, and tell her that we loved her, and are coming for her.
i was expecting word anytime.
and i got it.
her luggage never made it.
it is currently in sudan.
which means, most of it has been rifled through, and likely our package will never make it to our daughter.
there is a chance that she will get it before they leave,
but i don't think so.
and just like that, the weight is back.
i was so excited that she would finally know us, see OUR photos, hear our notes to her, and just like that, plans changed.
ugh.

third trimester
we have been in this process of adoption paperwork for six months.
if this were a pregnancy,
we would be beginning our third trimester.
when i look at it that way, it doesn't seem so bad...
however,
when i look at it from the perspective that the moment i knew we would adopt was ten years ago...
we are breaking some records here or something.
so ready to be done with this part.

state authentication...
took a little road trip
to the golden roof place :)
drove five and a half hours
for a certificate that took 30 seconds to get to me...
and i would do it again
every single day
if it meant one minute more
with my sweet girl.
