So Much to Blog About . . .

So little time right now.

I could blog about how we are moving in three days and while I'm thrilled to be moving to a new house, I had to do a little mourning for the house we are leaving. It was the first house I bought (while I was still single) and I put a lot of blood and sweat into this house, making it totally and completely mine (and then ours). My sister said to me last night, 'isn't weird to think about someone else living here?' That explains my feelings exactly.

After we thankfully sold our old couch on Craigslist and hauled it upstairs the other night, Abram wanted in on the action. He so badly wanted to carry that chair upstairs!

I could blog about how excited I am to drive to Chicago a few days after we move to celebrate with our good friends (who are in our connection group at church) when they meet and bring home their son from C----. He will be the first of all the kids coming to Central Iowa from C----. I absolutely cannot wait!

I could blog about the great get-together we had with many of the families in our area adopting from C----. It continues to be an incredible blessing to walk together with many other families through the C---- adoption process. We even had a new single gal from Pleasant Hill join us because she is adopting from there as well. That makes TWELVE families in our little Central Iowa area who are adopting from C----. God is doing an incredible thing!

And then I could on and on for a long time about how we got new pictures of our two girls being silly together, looking totally and completely like the true sisters that they are (though they are not biologically related). I should probably process the feelings I have when I look at those new pictures of them. They will be a year older when they come than they were when we accepted their referrals, which means they will be 7 & 8 when they arrive. While I know WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that God has led us to adopt these two girls (and our son), my current feelings could be summed up as completely freaked out! Good thing I have until August to continue to have God prepare my heart.
