Lovey bear

The month we saw Olivia's picture, we went to Build-A-Bear and got her a bear. We put a message in it saying we loved her and were glad that she was in our family now! We went and got her 6 wks later. Well, of course we have to carry on that tradition, so today (August 13) we got Zoey her bear! Olivia and Chase helped pick it out and Olivia picked out the clothes. We are hoping that this will make time go by fast and that we will be with Zoey in just a few short months. We are also hoping that on Gotcha Day she will see us holding Lovey and feel love (hence the hearts! :) So...introducing....LOVEY BEAR!!!

Zackery!

Well, my oldest is on his way to college today! It's an exciting, but kinda sad day! He's never been away from me for more than 2 wks and that was when we went to China in 2007! Other than that, not longer than a week! I'm excited to see what God has in store for his life and how he handles being an adult, but I'm also scared! He will be taking 16 hours, he's the head of the band (One Way) for the BSU and he will be getting a job soon. He will have a full plate. Please pray for him. He needs all of the prayers! I always woke him up for school...that will be new for him. I hope Hannah's phone calls will wake him up! :) Hope he eats enough, studies enough and sleeps enough!! Oh the worries of a mother!
I love my boy and expect great things from him! He loves God and lives like he does, so I pray others can see that in him. I look forward to seeing how he does! He's a good boy and I will miss his face around here all the time! Hope he visits alot! :) Love you Zackery!

On it's way!

Well, our paperwork is on it's way to Texas as of 7:33 tonight! PLEASE pray that all is there and correct! I wouldn't think that my agency would send it if it wasn't so I'm pretty confident, but there is always that fear! Also, pray for a fast turn around!!
We aren't that far away!!! WOOHOO!!!! Can't wait to hold our Zoey in our arms!!!!

LOA MAILED!

Well, overnighted our LOA Sat and it's guaranteed to be at my agency before 4 tomorrow. I am praying that it's before then though because if they check over it and everything is ok (PLEASE let it all be ok) then they said they turn around and overnight it to immigration!!! SO!! I would like to know that it's on it's way Monday, but Tuesday won't kill us! :)
Moved Zackery in to college yesterday. He leaves Wednesday to start classes on Thursday! SO please be in prayer for him. New experiences, new temptations, new friends, new classes and new not seeing us everyday!! So, prayers are needed!
We always need prayers but I think I will be doubling up this week! :) Just praying for all to be good with Zackery (he's a good boy!! just hope he stays that way! HA) and for speedy paperwork!!
Thank all of you for your prayers and for following us! I will update you as much as possible! I can't believe that we could be holding our Zoey in like 3 mths (and sooner would be better!!!)!!!!!! AHHH!!!
