YIPPIE!!!!!! JUST GOT OUR APPOINTMENT NOTICE to GET OUR FINGERPRINTING DONE!!! Why am I so excited about this?? because Ron travels every week and I've been worried that the appointment would be in the middle of the week - and he couldn't do it and we'd have to reschedule over and over until it was on a Friday or Monday. But that's not the case!!! It's a MONDAY!!!! In just two weeks!!!!! One more step almost done!! Then DTC!!!!!

Longing to belong to you

Our paperwork has finally landed into immigration's lap and we are just waiting everyday to hear back from them. Every day I run out to the mailbox after the mail has been delivered to see what we got. So far just an official looking receipt from immigration saying that we sent our paperwork and monies in.
Today I was listening to music and found this AMAZING song that seems to speak right from my heart to our new little girl. So Taeya dear this song and all it's words I give to you from Eddie Vedder... (who btw is an AMAZING musician one of my and Ron's fav's!!)
Longing to belong to you
I'm falling harder than
I've ever fell before
I'm falling fast while hoping
I'll land in your arms
cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong to you.

I dream of circles perfect
eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound
that only you can replace
and though the moon is rising
can't put your picture down
love can be frightening when you fall

and when the time is right,
I hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired
the ocean becomes calm
I may be dreaming but
I'm longing to belong to you.

It's as though they peeked into my heart and read what I was thinking!!! I dream of your eyes being perfect in your face. I can't put your picture down. You are all over the house in pictures. You are everywhere I go all day long. And when I do come to bring you home I hope that you will be just like when the wind gets tired and the ocean becomes calm. I am always thinking about how I am longing to belong to you <3
Love your Mommy
