THEY ARE DONE!!

I called Lee's Summit, MO to tell them that I was having major surgery on the 13th and the drive was over an hour AND my appt was only 14 days after the surgery. I asked them if there was any way I could get them done earlier. The first lady said for me to take my chances and walk-in, but we weren't comforable with that, so we just figured that we would "deal with it" and I would try not to hurt tooo much with the drive. THEN..another lady called and said that she had spoken to someone in Memphis and they told me to come in anytime before the surgery, that it would be fine!! WOOHOO!! ANSWER TO PRAYERS!! 1. I don't have to drive that far in pain and 2. We could get our approval earlier, which means earlier DTC!!!!! We are so excited. SO, got our fingerprints done today (4-8-2011) and can't wait for approval!!! Praying for this government shut-down, but looks like God is dealing with that too, in a postive way! God always shows us that HE is in control of our adoptions...thankfully so b/c if we had to do these things on our own...we wouldn't have our Olivia and soon have our Zoey! GOD IS AWESOME..in the GOOD TIMES and the BAD!!! Thank you God for being in control..ALWAYS!

Surgery

Well, I found out that I will have a compete hysterectomy April 13th! In the hospital for 3 days with 6 wks recovery! YUCK! But so looking forward to feeling better...forever! HA I'm thinking alot about Zoey! I am NOT a patient person, as most of you know, but I so want to see her, how old she is, what her special need(s) is/are, where she is from and all that good stuff! I know it's all in God's timing and I'm okay with that, it's just hard! Got Zackery's graduation invitations in Monday! They are exactly what he wanted. I think they turned out pretty good! Now we have ALOT left to do for these last 5 weeks! UUGHH!!! 5 WEEKS and my first-born will graduate! I'm so proud of him and sad at the same time! Just praying for God's hand to be ALL over him!!!! Well, I guess it will be about 4 weeks before I have anymore news on Zoey! I wish it could be sooner, but it won't be! Just stay tuned...getting closer and closer. Pray for Z to be well, stay well and already get her heart ready for us! Pray that she's revealed to us soon!!! :) Pray for our family with this surgery. God is amazing and we put all our concerns, questions and trust in Him!
