so far.
i mean, i know it's only been a day.
but i'm GREAT at this :-)
it's like i've been given a whole new bottle of patience and hope and it's just so GREAT!
i remember feeling like this right after we turned in our paperwork last may.
so hopeful. and expectant. and beaming. and excited.
and then, as the months wore on, it wore off.
it got harder.
and the beam dimmed.
and the hope turned to despair.
i KNOW it sounds dramatic {and maybe i am...just a bit...but it's also the truth.}
this is just sweet.
it's been a good day and i'm just enjoying that.
LIFE FEELS GOOD.
and i am NOT taking that for granted.
{even if i have to hobble through it...it was a great day!}
i know we still have an unknown wait ahead of us.
but, so far, i'm handling it beautifully!
{i hope you can sense the slight sarcasm...}
this was from breakfast the morning we got our approval.
when i wasn't quite sure it was for real. and, if it was, i couldn't tell anyone because pat was gone and i unreachable.
i LOVE how sawyer says, "africa!"

ah-ca-ca! that's the best! he looks at you after you asked him "who lives in africa" like "DUH! Mom you know!" I'm glad you enjoyed your day. Mom called me today on her way home from work and said that your mom had just called her and told her the exciting news! :) She was making sure I knew too - duh!! Hopefully this "little" wait will be a little more enjoyable than the last "long" wait! :)
LOVE IT!!! So happy for you guys! Where did you find Sawyers awesome shirt?? I'm always on the lookout for great adoption tees;) Can't wait to see which children God has for your family!!
That's exactly how my Ellie says Africa! She says, "My brover-sister is in akicka".
Ohhhhhhhhhh how adorable! He knows it and says it with SUCH enthusiasm! Precious that you recorded that memory for him and those brothers one day! BIG week for you guys Courtney! Continuing to pray.
Laila says Africa just like that too. She knows exactly what the shape of Africa is and always points it out to me. I love that shirt, too. Can you tell me where you got it. Although, I would need the star in a different spot!!
So excited for your family. Let the adventure begin!!
