Deep thoughts.....

My Pekingnese is saying, " No mom, don't wear those boots...I don't care if it is Chistmas.....you live in Mississippi and it it not even cold". I am saying, "But Chewey, you have your coat on .....and look...we match."

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family! It is late on Christmas Eve and I should be fast asleep hoping Santa will fill my stocking because I have been such a good girl. However, I have no problem staying up until 3 am reading blogs and following the families throught their amazing journeys. I like the night and would make a fantastic vamire, apparently.

I had a very good day shopping with the kids and bought baby bedding today that is just adorable! I bought Parker a luggage set today and he was so very proud of this!

As for the process, I am currently waiting for my home study license to be renewed and should have this documents in the next several weeks. I have redone 15 other documents as they were getting a little too old and I want them all to be fresh before heading to the big time! Andrea assures me everything else looks good! My dossier is otherwise ready and will hopeful go to translation the first or second week in January. I hope to breathe a little sigh of relief when that happens! I have sent it to Andrea already, so the only things she needs now are my updated documents!!!!!!!!

Kj and Steve and Jen and Marshall have come closer to ending their journey's and the end of their stories deserves a standing ovation. Seeing the two beautiful babies together in Kaz was just amazing. Congrads to them and I know that they will have many happy days ahead !!!!!

I am soo excited to travel and meet this little girl.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Shout out to my sisters.......we will be on a jet plane to see you guys in exactly 2 days!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's go shopping girls!!!!!!

a little snag!

Okay, so I have been such a lazy person about writing in my blog. I think it is probably because I am just waiting. I recieved my 171 H and sent my completed dossier to my agency. Unfortunately, my home study license was going to expire Dec 31st and so we have been waiting for the last month for the new agency license. I was afraid that was going to be a problem. Then it was decided that I needed to update two documents. I have done that and am now just waiting on the updated license, then all will be ready for translation. I will just be so glad when I am in forward motion phase. My coordinator, Andrea has been great and I am just trusting in her and trying to realize that all good things come to those that wait.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I am off all next week and going to Fayetteville, Ark. to see my sister for Christmas. She has two adorable babies and we will get to play!!!!!
