ReplyDeletethinking and praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI say the butterflies are normal. The week of our referral I was SICK to my stomach and it didn't go away for AT LEAST a month afterwards (which yes, I know was a few days ago...). I was almost convinced I had a virus....but when we got our court date - POOF! I was a LOT better! Just ready to get that girl home I guess. But regardless...praying you pass court and praying you ARE NOT getting sick. That would not be good with a hubby overseas.
ReplyDeleteI thought of your family this morning on my way home after dropping my youngest off at daycare. I was sitting at the stop light when I noticed on the back of the car in front of me what I thought was a magnet in the shape of Africa. But as I looked closer it wasn't a magnet but "missing paint" in the shape of Africa. I immediately thought of your family and took a moment (sitting at the stop light) to pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteOh man!! I just got the butterflies for you while reading this! Praying for everything to go well and for you to pass court the first time so you can get back over to Wes ASAP!!
ReplyDeletePraying! Lots to be excited about. Praying for everything to go smoothly and quickly!
ReplyDeleteI am praying so hard for your family.. I just can't wait to see sweet Wes come HOME!!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOOO!!!!!! Praying your butterflies subside when you know that your hubby has landed and held Wes! And when you learn that you PASSED COURT!!!! Praying that it will happen THAT DAY!!!!! Glad to see that you are able to continue to give this to God and trust in His plan. OOOHHHHH.......SO EXCITING!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooooh WOW!!! I am SO excited for your husband - HOLY SMOKES! FIRST TIME! This is HUGE! You must be SUPER excited to hear what his thoughts are and SO excited to see what he SEES and HEAR everything he experiences! I hope he takes a BAZILLION pictures for ya!!! ...TOTALLY praying court goes AWESOME! ♥

ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Kristi, and your hubby. I pray you guys pass the first time!
ReplyDeleteSo excited, praying for all the details! Can't wait to hear all about sweet baby Wes !
ReplyDeleteHave been thinking about ya'll and praying for ya'll so much, Kristi! Praying that ya'll pass court the first time and get to bring Wes home soon!!!
ReplyDeleteSilly question for you. I was wondering where you found those bags your hubby is holding? We have hundreds of pairs of shoes to take back to ET with us when we travel for embassy, hopefully this month! and we are not sure what to pack them in. Those duffles, look like just the right thing. May I please know where you got them? I need to get some ASAP. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePaige, My hubby got his bags at an Army Surplus store...we live near an army base, so those type of stores are easy to find..they are cheap and big and very durable... hope this helps, kj
