At last.......PINK!!!

We got our pink tonight! I am feeling SUCH an overwhelming sense of relief! I'm so happy! We will be leaving on Sunday to go pick up our girl! I haven't seen her in 7 months and I can't wait to hold her again! I hope she'll let me!

This is bittersweet for me because I know the heartache some of you are suffering through. I know how tough the waiting, wondering and just NOT knowing anything is. It's like getting your heart broken over and over and over again! But, it WILL come to an end! I pray this part of YOUR journey ends soon!

Thanks for lifting me up on days I have been down. Thanks for answering my questions no matter how stupid or repetetive! Thanks for just understanding and being here. I have really been uplifted by all of you so many times in the last 14 months of my life!

I've got to get started on my packing now!
Jeanne
