Tick Tock Tick Tock.........

This is the sound i hear in my brain all day long as i watch the clock and wonder if our case will be scheduled for an interview today.  I was told they schedule interviews the second week of each month and today is Friday.  Everyday I have called and everyday they tell me the same thing that our interview has not been scheduled yet and to check back later.  Man, i know i have prayed for patience but obviously i need to pray harder because i feel very impatient.  I just know that once the interview is scheduled i can start to plan for what is going to happen.  I can buy plane tickets, i can book hotels.  I just hate sitting here with my mind going crazy and not being able to do anything.

So I decided to fill some space and catch up on this blog.  We have started getting her room ready and that is exciting.  Martin is so mellow and just goes with the flow.  He doesn't get overly excited or upset about anything which is good because i get overly emotional about everything.  Anyway, i asked him the other day if he is getting excited and he says it still doesn't seem real to him.  He said when we are there and they finally tell us we can bring her home then he will be excited.  I know he just doesn't want to get his hopes up and then be disappointed.  I just pray that won't happen.

During the Christmas break the kids were with us.  Mason came and stayed with us the whole break even though the girls had to go back to Dallas.  We started talking about building Michell a kitchen and by the end of the break Mason and Martin had it completed.  It looks so good and I cant wait for her to see it.  We had our monthly Internet chat with her last Sunday in the middle of working on her kitchen so we let her see it and she was so excited.  Every time we try to set up a web call something always ends up happening.  Either my computer is not working or they are having a storm and cant get connected something always seems to be going on.  So Sunday she was suppose to call us at 10 am so we could see the baby.  I had my computer up and running waiting on the call.  10:30 rolls around and we finally get everyone connected and their web cam pops up.  Michell is sitting in a chair with the biggest frown on her face.  She is bored and mad because she has been sitting there for 30 mins waiting and she doesn't want to talk to anyone.  When we finally get our camera working Martin starts showing her the kitchen and she got so excited.  Her face lit up and she started pointing and asking him if it was hers.  I cant wait until she is finally here and can play in her room with all of her things.

As soon as we get an interview i will post it ....until then I'm practicing my patience :)
