The last month has been very busy! Along with our adoption changes, PTA has been insanly busy. Last Weekend we organized a craft bazaar and this weekend we are working on installing new playground equipment. Wow....that one sentence in no way gives justice to the amount of time and stress that has been put into the last 3 weeks. The good news is that by Thanksgiving we should be done with ALL of the major PTA events on my end for the rest of 2008 (I have 2 great chairladies in order for our Christmas festivites)! Today our playground install was long and coooooold. It didn't get over 30 degrees and the guys worked from 8am-6pm. We got everything assembled and in the ground but due to some bad excavating we lost about 2 hours of work time so we have to go back after church to fill the playground with gravel and mulch. Thankfully T's brother Brian is awesome and is volunteering to come up and run the bobcat for us! Hopefully all goes well because we are ready for it all to be done!!!
Our great friend Connie is going to notarize all of our dossier documents tomorrow, and Monday we will head to our homestudy agency to pick up our copies of our updated homestudy. I only have 2 more rooms to clean throughly so we can take pictures of them (BFAS requires pictures of every room in your house for THEIR dossier...I am assuming they want them clean). So by Monday afternoon our dossier will be ready to mail out.....oh wait....i have wait on CHSFS to issue us a refund..... I am praying that it comes quickly so we can be "officially waiting" for a referral. I am still hoping for an instant referral.....and I think you will have to tie me down if I don't recieve one by Christmas.... then the self doubt will set in and give feet to my constant habit of second guessing every decision I make. Torrey is really being my support right now. Usually by the time he gets home I am losing my mind with the doubt, and what if's....he just looks me in the eyes and says...we made the decision...it was the right decision....our child is not coming into CHSFS....our daughter will be in one of the orphanages that is partnered with BFAS....she is waiting for us now.....WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR MINDS....this is what God wants for our family. I am so glad for T!

Can T talk to C? Every time I express doubts for switching (which is about every 2 seconds), Chris says, "Yeah, I know." Good grief, that is so NOT HELPFUL. T is a good man, a very good man ;).
