Surreal....

In a matter of weeks I will forever have my DAUGHTER home.. Today has been a whirlwind. I don't remember most of my conversations, or how the hours went by. (They were mostly spent on the phone, giggling and cheering). I can't believe that I have been blessed. I can't believe that we stuck it out. I can't believe at one point I wanted to throw in the towel. I can't believe that WE are out.... I have pinched myself twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I am so thankful today, and praising God for this miracle.

I wanted to thank all my friends for your never-ending support. I have spent many days crying on the phone to some of you.... and it means more to me then you will ever know!!!

Now the fun begins..... We are getting everything here at home in order. I have CHRISTMAS DECORATING to do! A tree to buy. Sweet little clothes to wash, and pack.... But tonight, we are just counting our blessings and enjoying eachothers company.... and happily knowing that this once very quiet house will be loud with giggles, tickles, and LOTS of love in just a few shorts wks!

We can't wait to bring you home, Emmy baby!!!!!
