3 days!

Just got back from a walk with my 3 guys. It's so cool and breezy - this weather is amazing! We took the pooches for a walk and they're sprawled out on the floor right now like a cow hide blanket in a mountain cabin.... don't have a clue where that came from, but that's what Russell looks like right now. He's our standard, black n tan dachshund :) Angel has her head rested on his back... these two are like an old married couple. Sweet.

Ok, so 3 days until committee meets and I'm happy, nervous, praying... well, a bucket of different emotions. We have been positive (and still are for the most part) up until this moment and the sinking reality that someone else, well, 3 someone elses control our future. Friday is the day and I feel every single second that passes by. Days are dragggggging on and nights are almost sleepless because I can't stop thinking! Note: I am not sleep deprived, I just think and daydream a lot! We could soon be meeting our children for the FIRST time! Wow. Ahh. Exhale.

Good news report! My SW emailed me today and she said the children's SW contacted her and is already getting the ICPC paperwork started for if we are chosen. Do you know how BIG the word IF is when it pertains to your children?!? Like, huge. I need everyone praying. Everyone has been and I know that is why we have gotten this far. Man, the doors that have opened for us because of prayer. Sometimes God is so good I can't stand it! You all rock, too!

I haven't heard from Oregon to know if our books arrived but man they must have by now. I let some little ones we know see the children's book and read it to a few of them and it seems to be kid approved. Hopefully E, N and J will be turning the pages and "meeting" us soon!!!!

So, what are we feeling right now? Hmmm. I have to go look up a word.... ok! This fits.

an⋅tic⋅i⋅pa⋅tion 
–noun (i would have thought verb)
1. the act of anticipating or the state of being anticipated.
2. realization in advance; foretaste.
3. expectation or hope.
4. previous notion; slight previous impression.
5. intuition, foreknowledge, or prescience.

but to make this accurate, here's another.

ex⋅treme
1. utmost or exceedingly great in degree: extreme hope.

EXTREME ANTICIPATION

This is where we are at this point in our journey.
