RQ new projections-Now it’s December?

Okay, each month after referrals are sent out RQ does her projections. If you remember from last month, we were slated for a November referral. Now it looks as though she thinks it will be December! Well, that’s just not going to work! We need a November referral so we can travel in December to get our girl. So, here’s the deal, let’s get everyone sending well wishes, positive vibes, prayers whatever form of encouragement you can our way! With only 16 more log in days between us and Grace, we need at least four days matched each month, if not more!! Referrals have been coming out late in the month, so it’s going to be another trying 30 days to see what the CCAA does for August. We appreciate all your love and support!
Wouldn’t it be great if she was sooooooooooooo far off an we received our referral in September, as you see in the September Horrid case scenario!!
No commentsReferral Time-inching ever closer to Grace!

Rumor Queen is reporting that the CCAA matched only two days this month, March 21st and March 22, 2006. I believe March 21st was a big day, so I am thankful that they matched two days. I am actually thankful they matched any!! Each and every day they match brings us closer to our daughter. We are now 16 LID’s away from Grace. And we are actually showing up on Rumor Queens projections from last month. I will be curious to see where she puts us when she updates the site later this month. If your not sure about Rumor Queen click the link on our sidebar to visit her site. So for now we wait, and pray and wonder when?

According to this month old chart from RQ we should be getting our referral in November and traveling in December. The best Christmas present ever would be to hold my daughter in my arms! Keep the prayers coming!
No commentsOur Graduate!!

Well we survived the high school graduation and all the festivities! We had Ben’s party a couple weeks ago and it went really well. I am so thankful to all my family who helped out, in so many ways! I was really proud of Ben. He is very shy but he did a fantastic job greeting all of his guests and talking with them. I even caught him a time or two showing off his pictures on the boards I put together. I’m sad that he won’t be here when we finally bring Grace home. But we’ll be making alot of trips to Ann Arbor with her. I’m looking forward to seeing how he reacts to Grace. I think he will be a great big brother. We already have some of her University of Michigan wardrobe!! Go Blue. Ben we are so very proud of your accomplishments and of the young man you have become. We know you are destined for great things!
No commentsOOOPS I MISSED OUR 39TH MONTH LID ANNIVERSARY1

WELL I DIDN’T EXACTLY MISS THE DAY. I JUST FORGOT TO POST ABOUT IT. BELIEVE ME I DON’T MISS ANY DAY THAT GOES BY ON THIS JOURNEY TO GRACE. I THINK OF HER EVERYDAY, MULTIPLE TIMES EACH DAY. I WONDER IF SHE IS BORN, WHICH I BELIEVE SHE IS, I WONDER IF SHE IS LOVED, HUNGRY AND HOW SOON BEFORE I WILL SEE HER PRECIOUS FACE. REFERRALS ARE DUE OUT ANY TIME FOR THE MONTH OF JULY. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL SEND THEM OUT THIS MONTH, WE NEVER KNOW. REMEMBER WE ARE 18 DAYS AWAY. I PRAY FOR A LARGE BATCH!WE ARE AWAITING OUR 4TH FINGERPRINTING APPOINTMENT. HOPEFULLY, OUR LAST. STILL WAITING…
