I am just ssooo in love with this man!!

hheeeee =]

Hhmmm.... that was a horrible flight home!

        We left LA around 9:30ish and from that point on there was nothing but turbulence. I instantly felt sick and hot /cold flashes.. it was horrible, and on top of that the airplane was so hot and the air (if any) would only blow warm air on you. It got so bad that I finally turned to Josh and said, “I think I’m going to pass out” and all I could think and pray was please Lord I don’t want to pass out on the plane! I couldn’t take it anymore and I literally ran to the bathroom on the plane. I haven’t felt that sick in a very long time, thank God I did not throw up. Still feeling like I could pass out.. all I wanted was to just sit be Joshua. He is such an amazing compassionate husband. He just held me and lied about when we were finally going to land and eventually the dizzy and hot/cold flashes passed and we finally landed around 11:30 BUT we couldn’t go to bed yet. Josh had to be on the road to Portland for appointments at 5 and from there he goes to Las Vegas for business conferences… It was a good thing we got some alone time on our vacation because life is going to get crazy busy.. just in the next couple of months!

so thankful for my sweet husband!

adoption [someday]

God has placed this so heavily on my heart that it is almost painful. I know in my heart that God is telling Josh and I to adopt a little girl from Russia. I do not know why Russia but this is so heavy on my heart that I am not about to question Him. Everyone says oohhhh that’s going to expensive or oohh Russia… that’s not good .(seriously!? who’s to say that’s not good? I think it’s funny how people will question anything out of the norm ) Josh and I are not 100% sure when we will be able to do this BUT trust me it is going to happen! Josh says, in the next couple of years we can start the process if everything goes well but honestly it’s so obviously that this is not in our hands so I am not worried about it at all. I have peace that this is all going to work out and work out in Gods timing.



Josh and I will have to travel to Russia two times. The first trip at the most is 10days long and you get to go to the orphanage and possible meet your child and go through process of documents and signatures and acceptance. The second trip is about 4 weeks long and has a possible court hearing, final documents, and paper work goes through. Just the thought that Josh and I might have the possibility to go through this and have the chance to adopt our little girl… I don’t have words. I don’t even know my little girl yet.. I don’t even know if she exists yet or is even thought of yet (I think about her everyday) but there is already a place in my heart for her, just that fact alone is what is going to keep me going. I love her and I haven’t even met her yet and I probably won’t for a couple of years BUT by the GRACE of God Josh and I will come home with our little girl someday.

a morning without coffee is bbbllaaahhhhh

Move in date got moved to Wednesday [YAY!]
 and I just realized that I packed
my espresso/coffeemaker/thingamabob/life source

in my kitchen so that I can have a cup of coffee [
not a morning person]

In the mist of trying to go through a

thousand boxes just to find the espresso maker…
