Howdy!
Tyler and I are finally home from our trip of true ecstasy! We can take a deep breath to relax after the rush of returning to the US, home study, travel and Mexico vacation! If we could disappear into the lush jungle of Cabo for a month or more I think we would! As always we fell in love with the Mexican culture, beaches and food! We each have a severe sunburn, little pot belly and huge smile to show for the amazing time we had! Before we left we had another piece of the home study completed in Phoenix. Lisa interviewed each of us and we discussed goals, fears and the next steps in the process. I handed over hundreds of pages of paperwork and documents w have been writing and gathering and I felt like I was handing over my first born. We have worked so diligently it felt bizarre to let it leave our hands. However, it felt awesome to have both a MOM and DAD represented! The home study goes to court any day now and Ty has a few last documents to prepare this week and then the big wait will begin. We talk non stop about names, clothes, discipline, college, parenting and everything of our son/sons. We are literally glowing with excitement. We also had a doctors appointment today for our last DepotLupron shot for endometriosis. Along with the injection came the typical ultrasound and blood tests(3 tries this time and 1 that wouldn't stop bleeding..yikes!) We meet with Dr. G again in a few weeks for an overall look at how well the meds worked, next steps, etc! We will keep you updated and appreciate your prayers, we feel them LITERALLY!
