OK, so this picture has nothing to do with my post. I went to bed with my hair wet last night and I woke up looking like this (and really, it is even crazier in person.), and I thought I would share my hair ugliness with all of you.So, I was talking to my sis-in-law, Kim the other day and we were talking about Shiloh and when she might come home and what we were praying for her and how fun it is all going to be. It was getting me really excited, but the funny thing I realized was that even though I am excited, and even though I dream about her coming home, and I can see pictures in my head of us seeing her for the first time, coming home to the airport with our family and friends waiting, or playing with her at home, it really just doesn't feel like reality yet. I have realized that waiting has become such a part of my life, that it no longer feels like a temporary thing that we are doing, it is more just there like a fact of life. I can't truly fathom a reality where we aren't waiting for a baby. I wonder if it is going to feel a little like culture shock when she is actually here and when she is really in our arms. I know this may all sound like a depressing thought, but it's not, more just kind of like, "Hmmm, funny." I wonder if we are going to feel a little bit of, "What on Earth just happened here?" I can't wait for that shocking feeling of knowing that it was all heading somewhere and not just there. It's a fun thought to think.

yikes, nice hair! :) Waiting sucks, they say it teaches you something (I don't remember what) but usually I just don't like it. However, it is amazing to me once it actually happens you forget all the waiting and it seems like you never waited at all. I miss you!
well, girlie, if I went to bed with my hair wet, i wouldn't even come CLOSE to looking that cute when i woke up. you're so pretty!
the reality of having a baby there in your home, to hug and kiss, when you've been waiting so long is so surreal. you will love it, and just like andrew (drew?) says, you'll forget all about the waiting.
well goodmorning tina turner!
waiting, waiting, waiting the story of our lives. but i must say that there is no one else i would rather wait with than you my dear sister! i do love that the lord gave us each other to experience all this with. we are kindred spirits...
Your hair looks way better than mine does when I wake up. It doesn't matter if it is wet or dry when I wake up, it's a mess.
Yeah the waiting stinks. My husband and I have been very down lately even though we are getting closer we are still too far away. We dream constantly about what it will be like. We can't wait to find out exactly what it is like.
Here's to waiting for the best gift of all!! It is worth it.
