See...wishful thinking does work!

You know the saying, "Be careful what you wish for..."?!?

I'd be perfectly 'happy' to wish for beautiful sunny days for a while

Enjoy!!!

Mmmmm!

I LOVE Chai tea lattes with soy!
~Warm, sweet, creamy~
They have the 'power' to transport me to a location where the sun is always shining, a temperature not more than 85 degrees with a balmy southerly sea breeze ~ sitting in my chaise lounge with an incredibly delightful book. I can hear the lapping of the ocean onto the sand. All is well.
~ Ahhh...Bliss!~

Hold it, hold it!
Reality check
48 degrees (I must have transposed my digits above)
Drippy, wet, soggy rain that manages to drench you no matter what
Snow is falling just a mere 40 miles east of me, I think I'll get out my snow gear and hit the slopes...after all it is JUNE 10th for crying out loud.

Alright I admit I'm a bit cynical about the current state of our weather. Wishing to be anywhere but here right now! So here's a few suggestions:
Phoenix, Arizona 89 degrees
Denver, Colorado 81 degrees
El Paso, Texas 88 degrees
Atlanta, Georgia 85 degrees
Savannah, Georgia 91 degrees
Escondido, CA 78 degrees (my 2nd favorite)
Kihei, Maui 86 degrees (my favorite)

28...and still counting


Today marks our 28th month of waiting since being logged in for Abigail. Wondering how many more LID Anniversaries we will be acknowledging (at this point they are really nothing to celebrate, thus the acknowledging part).

Tradegy...With Great Sadness

In loving memory of Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)

Steven Curtis Chapman’s youngest child, Maria Sue, died Wednesday (May 21st) evening after being struck by a car driven by her teenage brother in the driveway of the family’s Williamson County home. Maria, one of the Christian singer’s six children, was taken by LifeFlight to Vanderbilt Hospital, which confirmed the death, according to Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The 5-year-old was hit by an SUV driven by her teenage brother, she said. Police did not give the driver’s name. The teen was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser down the driveway of the rural home at about 5:30 p.m. and several children were playing in the area, McPherson said. He did not see Maria in the driveway before the vehicle struck her, she said.

My heart has been deeply heavy all day over the loss the Chapman family is living through. Myself having 2 teenage boys and a daughter I've never met, I have shed many tears for their loss.

As 'we' continue to PRAY, not only for our daughter's we long to hold in our arms, we can be remembering this incredible family who's presence in the Chinese Adoption Community is so huge!
