July Moved Only 2 days!!!!!

July is always an action packed month! Mike's b-day July 1, my b-day July 11, family picnic, my Mary Kay unit awards and my trip to Dallas for my annual seminar. Mike and I went to Chicago for the 4th of July to celebrate our birthdays. We saw Jersey Boys....LOVED IT! Had a reality check that this time next year everything will begin to happen with Jailyn. Woohoo! With it moving only 2 days we are on target for July 2010 referral and I still have a gut feeling it will speed up once we get thru the months of March 2006 and April 2006. So they are officially on March 22 which is 12 weeks to June 13. If they can get back on target of moving a week at a time it is July 2010. I am optimistic it will not get worse and that she is coming in 2010. The journey continues to be long but hopeful as we are rounding the bases to home plate this time next year. After 3 1/2 years down what is one more.

Well I am off to Dallas to pick up a Diamond ring for my sales in Mary Kay and hope to be the top sales director in sales in my national area.

Wish me luck!

Woohoo!!!!! June referrals are coming!!!!

Just got word the website is moving 6-7 days! We are still on track for next summer referral and I believe it is going to speed up! My feeling is that Jailyn has just been born or will be born in the next 6 months. How exciting! Pray for Jailyn that God holds her close and has a hand of protection over her until she is in our arms!
I love that the website is moving!!!!

Woohoo!!!!! They did refer babies this month!

Just got word from our agency they are to March 14! It moved 6 days today May 21......we are still on track for July referral 2010!

Have a fabulous Memorial Day!

Mid May no referrals for this month to date

Well delay and obstacles seem to be upon us. There have been no referrrals this month and nothing annouced by the CCAA. However speculation is that they are holding referrals due to the swine flu. Who knows we are definitely in a holding pattern which means more delays and pushing us further back into summer 2010. When the SARS scare happened China held referrals. Once again another time to really let go and live my life. I have taken on Yoga to calm the spirit and strengthen my post surgery body that needs much toning, strengh and weightloss. So focusing on living life and leaving Jailyn's arrival in God's hands as we can do nothing to get her with us any quicker.

Pray for patience and that the CCAA will refer babies in June. In June our journey will be 3 1/2 years and waiting......

Love and hanging there!

May update

Well it has been a busy end of April travelling to Seattle to see Scott for a mini vacation. We spent 5 days in Seattle and saw the sights and Scott's place in Oak Harbor and the Navel Air Station. Then came back in time to run the Flying Pig Marathon Relay May 3 as TEAM THORNBURY! We did it! I wanted to run across the finish line and know we can win as a family at something that took time and dedication. It was tough and we did it faster than we imagined and wish we had trained a bit more. I wanted a win!!!! Since this adoption Process has been difficult I needed a personal win! When you set out to do something you never have before and accomplish it you break a belief in yourself barrier. It was a good day! I think I would like to do it again as a relay and really be able to train next time without being hurt with foot problems which have been a challenge through the whole training period.

So no real news accept the rumor is it will move possibly 6 days. Would love to see that as it would keep us at a referral in June 2010! Our adoption agency is working with us on the additional fees they feel they need to charge us since so much time has passed. From the Rumor Queen it appears there are any where from 1200-1500 people ahead of us for a healthy baby girl. We are closer but the wait continues.

I will post a picture of Katie and Mike, half of Team Thornbury with our medals, as they waited for me to cross the finish line! I had the best leg of the race! I got to cross the line!!!!

I'll do another post once we know how many days it is moving in May!

Have a Marvelous May!

April update

The referral box has apparently moved 2 days for this month making the date March 8, 2006, so as of right now a June referral 2010 is what we are thinking if it begins to speed up and move 7 days at a time. March 8 to June 13 is 14 weeks which interprets to be 14 months until referral if we can get back 0n track of moving a week at a time. When it moves less than 7 days it moves us back another month. The only way to speculate our date is mathematically and gives us a good idea of where we are......I know the best is yet to come and God is going to give us double for our trouble.

Cie la vie.....I do have lots of hope it will speed up. Until then we live our lives.

Happy Easter!

Early April update

Well the date did move 4 days last month to March 6 and it is not looking good but moving only a couples of days this month. So the wait is longer and well into 2010 now before we have Jailyn in our arms.....
Happy Easter!
