One sunny vacation, coming right up!

Things are not going great in adoption-land right now. This is bringing me a great deal of stress. This is also bringing Marc a great deal of stress. Things are pretty stressful in our house right now. We can't really do anything to eliminate this stress. Except for booking a rediculously cheap, week-long vacation to Florida. Ah, just what the doctor ordered. Sunshine. Margaritas. Sandy beaches.

Gotta go - I only have about a month to get this bod ready for a bathing suit!

I will show you love

Earlier this year I heard this song on Kristin's blog. It's a beautiful song that speaks to me in so many ways and lately I just can't get enough of it.

Back to the quilt!

Thanks for all the comments, emails and phone calls of support! I'm feeling much better already- I think I was just having a bad week. For the most part, I think I have a really optimistic attitude about the whole timeline for this adoption. Most days, I think, "This is all happening for a reason, I will meet my daughter when I am supposed to." And usually, that works for me. On the days that it doesn't work, I usually only vent to Marc. Poor Marc. But anyways, onto better and brighter things... I have a good feeling that this week is going to be an exciting one for a couple of families in the adoption world. My fingers are crossed, as always.

I realized this weekend that I haven't been posting quilt squares lately. Marc and I went to get the last of our fabric yesterday and I think we officially have exactly 100 squares! (I'm going to do a final count tonight). This batch of quilt squares come from the ladies that my mom works with. I couldn't believe that they all took the time to participate in Poppy's quilt. It really meant a lot to me that they did!
