At Last!!!!

We FINALLY have pink!!! I am so happy! We leave on Sunday and we will be coming back on Thursday. I will get to be with her for my birthday on the 21st, which has been my birthday wish for the last 5 years. Every time my husband would ask me what I wanted for my birthday, I would say, a baby. Now I am finally getting the best birthday present! I am so relieved! More relieved right now than excited, though I'm sure that will come. Yesterday was not a pretty day when the day passed and we still didn't have pink, so I am just so relieved to not have to deal with those emotions anymore. It still doesn't feel real that we are actually going to be with her in 5 days and get to bring her home with us!!!! WoooHoooo!!!!!!!!!

I'm so thrilled to see the word PINK on your blog !!!

Congratulations to you and Felipe.... How wonderful that you are receiving your birthday wish....

Jennifer, I also congratulate you on being strong by depending on God during this entire process.... It is truly hard for all of us to wait for "God's time".... However, look at the rewards when we do.

Have a safe and joyous trip.... There's the most beautiful lil girl awaiting her forever parents... and the most incredible life they're going to provide for her...

MUCH LOVE to YOU ALL !!!
