Four More Days
I can't believe the race is this Saturday. It seems like it's always been way off in the distance and now it's here!
I've stayed on target with the running schedule. I'm pretty good when things are planned out. So far, I haven't had to run in the rain. The wind was pretty fierce last Friday, but other than that, it's been pleasant. There is rain in the forecast for this week, including Saturday. I hope and pray it doesn't! Dad said when he ran last year, it was freezing and raining. Yuck!
My dad and my niece are both going to run as well. I wonder who will win... hmmmm. We'll see. One of my nephews is going to do the one-mile "fun run." Looks like it will be a family event. I'll make sure someone will take pictures -- it won't be me!

So Cute!
5 Minutes for Mom is giving away a bedding set from Kukunest. They have some adorable patterns, but this is the one I love. Anyone care to guess why?
Go on over there and enter for your chance to win.

One Year Ago Today
It has been twelve months exactly since we have been logged in to CCAA. One whole year.
I guess the good thing is that it has gone by pretty quickly. There have been times of high emotion and the questions of "why isn't this going any faster?" Or, "what can we do in the mean time?" I get crazy fleeting thoughts of more fertility treatments (I really do NOT want to go there), and praying that I'll get pregnant (wouldn't that be so much easier, God?), or should we do another adoption while we wait?
And then I settle down again and just trust in God's goodness and His perfect timing. He knows exactly what we need and He will provide!
We are learning more and more about trust in God and the obedience that it requires. Such as getting out of debt and actually having the cash to pay for the rest of the adoption when the time does come.
So, it is a good thing, for us, that it looks like it will probably be a couple more years before we get our referral for Abby's Mei Mei (Little Sister). We're just waiting for our perfect match - like the one we got three years ago in little Abby.
God does ALL things well!
