a maybe

we are a maybe for being in ethiopia december 6th-11th. yes, we are finally heading over and i no longer feel weird for getting most of david's stuff packed already.

we were blessed to share the video montage of david that we posted a week ago with our church family today. jim had asked me earlier in the week if he could use it during his sermon today and of course i said yes. all week i have wondered what my response would be - would i cry, would i run to hug those people that have been beside us through the whole journey, would i... i just wasn't sure. i watch the video every day [sometimes more] and i tend to get emotional and cry so i was leaning heavy on that emotion coming out. well the moment came and i snuck into the sanctuary to watch the video and as some cried, i laughed. yes, i thought i might have to leave because i felt that "giggle" working itself up. i had the biggest smile plastered on my face as i looked at my son and i couldn't stop laughing at everything that has brought us to this point. the journey has been full of maybes and we have finally hit the last one. when this maybe becomes reality we are on our way to pick up our son!
