Well the government shutdown did not happen, Thank You, Lord and we got our offical approvals from USCIS yesterday. We found out that the papers we received about two weeks ago were just papers saying that our case was in process. Now that we have the official approval, we will talk to the agency tomorrow or Tuesday when P is in the office to find out what to do. The past two weeks have actually been the longest for me during the entire adoption. They went by so slow and were probably the most frustrating.
Work was insane! Inside I had no patience with any customer. All of us who work together were so frustrated last week! Finally Friday we could just laugh about it, but Friday had it's share frustrations too! Needless to say we were all MORE than relieved when we finally locked the doors on Friday afternoon.
I held a hostess apprecation party for my jewelry hostesses on Thursday and Friday this week. Kelly was a life-saver and did the show for me. I was so not prepared. I hope to keep doing the jewelry shows when we return from Peru. So I've got to get rolling in lining them up!
On the one and only fun and stress-free day of the week - which happened to be Saturday - Brent and I did some kid shopping yesterday! That was fun! We got some bathroom decor, bedspreads, closet organizers, and a bed and desk!
That same night some of the youth through a surprise birthday party for 2 of the kids. It actually was kind of a disaster, but ended up okay. I think.
This week has got to be better!

It sounds like both of us have had a rough two weeks. Do you ever wonder if God is just preparing you to enjoy how good things are about to get, or if He's equipping you to deal with something even harder? Oh well, let's hope for the former and prepare for the latter!
Yes! I have been thinking that a lot lately, especially about patience! I guess with 3 kids, I'll have to bump up the patience factor! You will have 4!! YAY! We probably need to plan a retreat together once a year, just us...to compare notes maybe?? haha!
