Living Life To The Fullest...

This is what you try to do each and every day. Sometimes it's hard to remember that when you feel like your "family" life is put on hold and waiting to start.

I'm finding that it is too easy to agonize over the wait and every now and again I get so insightful...SCARY! But, we do need to live our lives to the fullest. Life has not stopped because we are waiting for our child.

Michael and I had a great weekend. We had friends up from Virginia and went to Newport RI. We did absolutely nothing for 2 1/2 days but eat, drink and laugh...just what the doctor ordered! Oh yeah, we went to one of the mansions "The Breakers" to see how the beautiful people live...I can only say amazing!

So in this crazy roller coaster ride called adoption with it's many ups and downs, we must all remember that we are still among the living and I know that I have been wishing away the days, but I've realised that I truly need to appreciate our time alone together (me and Michael) before our daughter comes home. Once she is home and our entire world is turned upside down we are going to miss our time alone.

Today is a good day...who knows what tomorrow will bring.
