This has been a crazy week with meetings, the last week of school (even though my kids aren't there), graduations this weekend and trying to prepare for our first trip.





I was asked to make two graduation cakes and 150 cupcakes and 150 cookies. My house was neglected, children banned from the kitchen and to work I went. Now that they are delivered I can breath again and get back to preparing for our trip.

After my husband received a couple very generous birthday presents we have what we need to be able to travel and pay all the fees we currently have due. God's blessing continue as when we got our travel dates we were still $2500 short.

The nerves are setting in for me now. This sounds silly but is true. I am terrified of flying. Yes, I am adopting internationally and am scared to fly. Including layovers we are looking at 28 hours. Having the cakes to keep me distracted for another week ended up being a good thing and next week I have a wedding cake that should help distract. I can't keep myself distracted forever because eventually I will have to pack the pile in the office and let it set in that I will be getting on a plane. I keep reminding myself it is to meet my daughter and nothing is going to stand between me and her! This silly fear will not hold me back.

With our official referral we also received an updated picture. Hopefully it won't be to many more months before I can share her pictures with you instead of the randomness from our crazy life.

I have been keeping busy making items to sell to help cover costs. I recently finished a baby blanket and hope to have some weighted blankets done soon. They are slow go putting filling each row then stitching, filling, stitching...you get the idea.

Until next time,
God Bless!
