Big decision being made at my house....

Andrew, the boys, and I all had a long talk this weekend. We discussed the POSSIBILITY of me and the boys heading down to Guatemala as soon as we get out of PGN to wait out PINK. All of us are in agreement that this would be the best thing to do for all of us. FIRST I will have to ask our agency how they feel about this. I am praying that since AP will legally be ours at that point they won't object. There's no way to tell when this could be. If we get out 4 weeks after resubmit the first week after Easter that would be the first of May. If we are in for a full 8 weeks after resubmit that would be the first of June. IF we get out sometime in May I will go down without the boys, and Andrew will fly down with them when school gets out. It all just depends on when the BIG PGN man signs off on our case. Either way, I could be with AP anywhere from 5-9 weeks from now. The benefits for AP would be amazing. It would give us the chance to spend 4-6 weeks together before we come home. The boys and I would get the opportunity to live in another country for a while. The down side is that I will miss my Andrew like CRAZY. This will definitely be a sacrifice for the both of us, BUT we both feel it's what will be best for our daughter. Now..............where would we live??? That depends on several factors. I will tell you that one of our blogging mommies and I are trying to figure out a way to go do this together. We are praying about that. If not, it depends on if the boys are out of school yet. If I go solo, I will be at the Marriott. If I go with the boys and our un-named friend we will rent a house in Antigua. As you can see there is LOTS to think about and plan for. I am praying about this and asking God to make His will known. I feel that he gave me this idea in the first place :) SO many things have happened that would allow this to happen financially. This would be the only time that we could actually afford to do this for a couple of months. I feel that all this is coming together for this reason. I will continue to pray, and we will see. This does give me hope and excitement to know that IF the agency allows me to do this I will be with my baby soon. That is enough to keep me going.

On another note, I am having a baby shower today! I had mixed feelings about it after the PGN kickout this week. I was thinking we would be getting ready to be released from PGN. I have decided to focus on the positive fact that all this is in preparation for Anne Pearce to come home. I look forward to spending time with my family and friends this afternoon celebrating this adoption! I'll post some pics later.

I love all you guys, and I know you will be praying for us as we make this decision. Please pray that our agency will allow me to go down and do this. THAT is a HUGE factor in this situation.

Hugs.......
