My mama and I went to lunch today and did a little shopping. We both were saying how we couldn't believe that in a little over 3 weeks I will have AP! It just seems so surreal.....I have known that this would come, but I still can't believe that it's almost here. I know that there are no guarantees, but I really feel that a miracle is about to happen. I have posted before that I have felt all along that God would give us a miracle in PGN. When we were kicked out I was devastated, but I still trusted in God. I truly believe that we will be out soon and that our paperwork will fly for us to bring her home. Isn't this amazing?? This journey started over a year ago, BUT it's almost over! We are so thankful that our agency and attorney are allowing me to go care for AP. That is such an answered prayer. I don't understand why some things have happened the way that they have, but I ultimately trust that my Father will make all things right. He will take bad situations and turn them to good. I told my mama today that all of a sudden all my worry about this situation is over. I actually had PEACE and CALM today. What a relief that was! I am so thankful.... I dread the thought of leaving Andrew, the boys, my parents, sisters, Daisy, Wyatt, Maggie, my church, my friends, and the comfort of home. I do have peace that this is the right decision though. It's not going to be easy being away from them all, but I just KNOW that it's what I'm supposed to do. Good things aren't always easy are they? Sometimes we just have to get ready and take that big leap of faith. I have my foot sticking out, and I'm ready to jump! Anne Pearce, here I come!

Jump girl!! (just don't jump like Maggie, you'll never leave the ground) =-) Every single bit of it, good, hard, bad, sad, awesome, it's all going to be perfectly worth it! I just know it!!
lovealee! Daisy
I am so happy for you!! I can't wait to read your first post from GC.
I am looking forward to your posts from Guatemala in a few short weeks!

I can't believe this is actually happening either! And I'm so glad that you are feeling peace and calm about it all. You WILL get your PGN miracle...you've felt it all along. Thank you for feeling comfort about my situation too. You are helping me recognize answers to my prayers.
BFF...for rizzle!
You're doing the right thing by following your heart. Fostering your own child in another country is a huge commitment but also incredibly rewarding. A friend of mine did it and, although it was tough, she never regreted it. I can't wait to read about you and AP! Congratulations! Carolyn and Olivia.
hi lou!

I can't believe we leave in 5 days!
Can't wait to meet you both!

I am so happy and excited for you and little AP! I'll be praying you have a good trip. I know what you mean about packing. I always get charged an extra fee b/c my bags are too heavy! LOL! Girls just need so much!
