Last Weeks Update

There is not much news this week regarding the adoption but wanted update on the last few days. As many as you know I had a birthday last friday. And I want to thank everyone for the birthday greetings via e-cards, e-mail, birthday cards and dozens of phone calls. Thank you all for thinking of me. I had a great day. The best was not having to work @ UPS friday night!! Wooo Hoooo! Duane and I with his mother, went out for wings with our friends Sharlene and Oscar to Buffalo Wild Wings. The wings were hot and the beer very cold.!(the wings were very SPICY but I loved it!!)

On the adoption front......there's not much to tell. We probably won't have any new info until the end of the month or early December. But I am very excited to say that we will be bringing my mother with us to CHINA!!!! Thanks to my wonderful dad who has offered to pay her way so she can be with me! I am so excited and she is excited. She is getting her passport documents together and then it's time to get her vacinated!!! My mother-in-law will be traveling with us as well, so they can share a room. Not to mention the great help they will be to Duane and I. What a blessing to have them both with us on this amazing journey. So I have started to get the itch to get packing and buy things on our packing list. The thought is a little overwhelming at times. It will be time to go before we know it. I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week and then x-mas......and then the new year and then only a few months to Karlee.

Now who is going to feed my fur babies while we're gone????? Anyone??? Actually, Nikki my co-worker of 14 years has accepted the duty of caring for my babies. However, I need to work out the issue with the cat litter.....she doesn' want to scoop any poop! It should not be that big of a problem! Did I mention Nikki has never owned a pet and is scared of animals??? What a great friend to agree to care for my pets. Actually, she has cared for the kitties sevesl times before for short periods! I just could not imagine bording my Nikko for 2+ weeks. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Nikki in advance for doing this for me!!! I owe you BIG!

Also, as I have mentioned before we are still undecided on a middle name for Karlee. We are welcoming your ideas. Nothing sounds good to me. I know many of you think we should carry on the Mae with her because I am Mya Mae and my mom is Bonnie Mae but I am just not sold!!!! So come on guys give me some names!!!!
