The song, I'll be home for Christmas really hit home this year. In my heart of hearts and hope of hope, I wished for Joey to be home. As we all know this Christmas wasn't meant to be our 1st Christmas together. So tonight I sit and wonder about our future. I wonder when our "firsts" will begin. No matter when it is, I am ready!!!!
Merry Christmas to all my friends and family and a HUGE thank you for your support!!! And to my little love 1,800 miles away...I love you and carry you in my heart everyday!

Not my plan...
Those who know me, know I love a good plan! I like things to roll out, just like they are designed in my head. My mom said the other day, you really shouldn't plan as much as you do! Once again, Mom 1 Nicole 0
Last night I learned that there is a delay in the process to bring Joey home. It hit me hard, like a big ol' punch in the gut. The severity of the issue has yet to be determined. So last night, I shed many tears, turned to my awesome support system, tried to sleep and went to school today. At school, I once again realized how lucky I am to have such an awesome work family. I was met with hugs, jokes to make me laugh, lunch with my team, and 19 little first graders who are busting with holiday excitement. I had so many words of encouragement that meant so much.
I have re-focused and jumped back in it. I am not planning anymore, as I have been reminded...it's not my plan its God's plan. He knows best and I am ready to see what he is going to do.

Waiting....
Today I got 2 new pictures of my cutie pie! She is changing lots and and I can't wait to see her. Many people ask daily, "Have you heard anything?" and unfortunately the answer is NO. I am currently waiting for an email from US Immigrations that says they will approve her file and then the fun begins. Once we have that info, they will be able to schedule her medical appt and her VISA appt. Once the VISA appt is scheduled, flights will be booked, bags will be packed, and the countdown will begin. I pray every night that Joey is safe, healthy, happy, and being taken care of. I know God has a wonderful plan for us and it is time, I give it back to him and realize he knows best. A huge thank you to all my friends and family for your support!
