Chinese Moon Festival Lanterns...Aren't These Cute?
I just picked up these Chinese Moon Festival Lanterns at Tuesday Morning. Aren't they cute? They are made of terracotta and were only $5.00 each. I am just thrilled with them!

Thank You...All of You...
I want to say thank you to everyone for your kind words and support over these past few weeks, has it been months? Thank you for sending me e-mails telling me what dates are through the review room. Thank you for sending me uplifting cards, I just received yours Amy and it made my day. I have a card that I use as a bookmark from Nancy at ASENND and I read it over and over. I have kept every greeting I have received on this journey in a special and beautiful box. When I feel overwhelmed, I go to that box and it rejuvenates me. Thank you for recognizing that I'm not myself and praying for me. Thank you for your friendship.
As many of you know, I am really struggling with my adoption agency. I am ten steps ahead of them with information and they are not motivated at all to help me find my way to my girl. I am a doer and a driver. The back seat is not a place where I am comfortable. I want to see movement and change for the better, I want to see dreams come true and I'm willing to work to make it happen. I am with an agency that has no sense of urgency, no need to know more, no desire to be proactive. You can imagine how that's working for me : )
I have made my thoughts and concerns very clear to deaf ears and that seems to be all I can do for now. So, I'm going to get on with the happy parts of my life and know that God is in control.
