Bittersweet




Today is the last day in Rolla with my family. I ride up to St. Louis with my nieces to spend the night and then fly home early in the morning on Tuesday. It has been a wonderful trip to MO. It is always hard to say good bye to mom. The last few days are sad. She hates for me to leave and I dread the good-byes.

I have met up with some great people on this trip. I hope to post some photos when I get home. I traveled with Dana up to Camdenton and met up with Kate, Ben and Lyra Johnson for lunch. Lyra is beautiful and the visit was so good. I learned alot more about the trip and what to expect. Kate and Ben are such great parents. Lyra is in love with them and was a little unsure of me. Great attachment on their part. :)

This past weekend was my 25th High School reunion. I can't believe that I am actually that old. There were not that many people who attended the picnic or dinner, but it was small enough to visit with everyone. My memory was not working so well. There were several girls that I remember hanging out with and it was good to see them and hear their life stories.

Mom and I traveled to Branson the Friday before Father's Day and went to a show up their with my brother, Larry. We spent the night and met up with all of his kids for breakfast. Such a good visit with family. I will have to say this has been one of the most relaxing times in MO. I think I was just ready for some down time. I have certainly received plenty of rest by the pool and at the house.

So today I am hoping to hear an update on a court date. My friend, Shannon, received a court date for the birth mom on July 7th and then one for them on Aug. 3rd. I am so happy for them! Praying that something like that happens for me this week. We usually get updates on Mondays. It has been three weeks since they told me that Yoseph's paper work was completed. Waiting...

I am praying for you. I do hope that you get a court date SOON! I'm still hoping we can be travel buddies. So glad that you had some quality time with your family. Continue to trust Him...He has all of this figured out even when we can't make sense of the wait.
