Good news and a bump in the road....

Okay - the good news is that we did have court today and things went well.  In 10 days, V will officially be Griffan!  He was very happy and so were we.

Now - the bump in the road.....Julie who travelled with us had her court scheduled today too but unfortunately the judge she had only wanted to do the preliminary court today and scheduled the official court on Tuesday.  Not what we expected or hoped for...needless to say Julie was upset.  This will be pushing it to get back by Christmas.  However - they don't call it Christmas "Miracles" for nothing.

Please keep Julie in your prayers and that she is able to get all the paperwork she needs to make it home by Christmas.  I know it is only a few extra days but when you are here a day seems like 10.

Can't wait to enjoy all the comforts of home....water than runs all day (instead of 6pm to 8am), toilets you can flush anytime you want and that are actual toilets and not holes in the ground, pizza delivery, tv we can watch and understand, signs and menus we can read, knowing that when you are in line that you are actually in a line and no one is going to keep cutting in front of you, being able to brush your teeth and wash your hands like normal, washing a full load of laundy(not miniature) and actually tossing in the dryer, .............as you can see home sounds pretty good right now!  I miss the girls and dogs coming to snuggle in the bed with me! 

But all in all - it is worth the cost......I would do it again for a little boy whose face lights up and runs to greet us!  After all.......Christ did so much more for us...a little discomfort on my end is nothing compared to what He did to give us a future.  

Would LOVE to hear from you - it is great to get emails or comments!
