More Referrals and Update

The CCAA has now updated and sent referrals through April 17, 2006, which means they processed 6 days of LID's since last update. This is good. I hope that things continue on an upward pace. I really am at peace knowing that God is going to bring her home soon. Tommy thinks she is coming home next year. I hope he is right! We were logged in 1 year on the 26th and it really went by fast. I went to the blogs of other families getting their referrals and I just get so excited to think about our story that we are going to get to share with everyone. I have to admit it is really hard all at the same time. I know that I shouldn't, but I get so jealous with everyone getting their babies. I am so happy for them and their little ones that are getting a family. They have waited so long and stayed faithful just as I have to! We will get there and when I do, I just don't know if I will be able to contain myself.

The boys are doing great. Justin is getting so tall and Corey is just becoming a man. I just can't believe he graduates in 2 years and Justin will be in high school next year. Where is this time going? I wish I could turn back time some days and just see them running around the yard playing ball or riding the "gully gully gull" (four wheeler) or the "tactorrr" (tractor). I am just beyond proud of them. They are so sweet and I love them more than they could ever know. Their smiles just make everything better when the day is not so good. I cannot wait to see the plans God has for them.

The basement is almost done finally! We just have to do the ceiling and carpet. I still have not started on Madie's room and I am ready now. Corey is excited to have his own space downstairs. It will be really nice to have a big family room to hang out in. (That is if the boys allow me down there in their man cave)

Madie - You will be home before we know it and it will not be a moment too soon. You have already been with me in my heart for years, but me and your daddy cannot wait to hug and kiss you and tell you we love you a million times.
