You Are Red |
You are lively and fiery. You embrace the world and live passionately. You are moody but generally enthusiastic. You love so many things. You are able to have a lot of drive and focus. Some people would call this obsession. You are aggressive about getting what you want in life. You look out for yourself first. |
This blog was set up to journal the wait for Chynna, who is from Jiangxi China (we were LID 7/14/06, and received our referral 8/29/11). I am so happy you are joining in this amazing journey.

Thank you Secret Pal, meeting good friends, and a funny story...
Thank you again to my secret pal....what an amazing piece of art to hang in Chynna's room, and the frog on it is amazing....I love looking at it on Chynna's wall (you are amazing, as always)...isn't it great?

Also, some good friends of ours are in town, Amy, Michael, and their daughter LynnMarie....we had such an amazing time meeting Lynn Marie and seeing them again (so glad they get down here to Orlando), and we got to see Don, Be, and JMei...we had a great time!!



Now onto my funny story....tonite when I got home from my Mom's, I walked in the door, closed the door behind me and felt something in my hair....I about had a heart attack....a frog had jumped into my hair (now mind you I didn't feel the frog jump into my hair) and jumped off my head onto the floor (somewhere)...I can't find him now, he must be hiding from me (cuz I did freak, hey I didn't know it was a frog, I didn't know what it was) or hiding amongst all the frogs I have in my house....I hope tonite when I am sleeping he doesn't decide to join me in my bed....

34 months down...
today we have been logged in for 34 months....and got an email from our agency that China has put an indefinite hold on matching because of the swine flu....one step forward and then we have to hold that dance step for awhile...lots of road blocks to our Chynna, but we will prevail and eventually bring her home...
We are also renewing our papers with USCIS for the third time (hence the suitcase of money above, thought it was fitting)....wonder how many more times we are going to have to do this??? once, twice, dare I say three more times???

Wacky Wed...what does your butt say about you??
I guess this means my butt talks about me to others??? hehe...
Your Butt Says You're Laid Back |
You are an easygoing, trusting person. You don't get too worked up, because everything usually works out in life. You are genuine and humble. You believe that there's more to you (and other people) than just looks. You are drawn toward close, one-on-one relationships. You crave a partner - romantic or otherwise. You are outgoing and confident. You are proud of who you are, and you are brutally honest. You tend to be a serious, straight laced kind of person. It takes you a while to warm up and let loose. |

Wacky Wed...what hairstyle are you?
You Are Pigtails |
You are fun loving, sweet, and cute. You radiate happiness and pure joy. Your idea of style is wearing the things you love most. And you love colorful, happy things. At your best, you are optimistic and open hearted. You find the good in everything. At your worst, you refuse to grow up. You are very prone to daydreaming and fantasizing. |

Wacky Wed...what vitamin are you?
Because of the swine flu going around (there's now been a confirmed case here in Orlando).....take your vitamins, wash your hands, be wary of others not covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze, and just stay healthy..
You Are Vitamin A |
You see the world vividly. You are a very visual person, and you pay special attention to colors. And while you appreciate a sunny, beautiful day - you also like the subtle visuals of night. You are youthful both in appearance and spirit. You are likely healthier than average. You shine brightly and are best in small doses. Too much of your company can be overwhelming and even dangerous. |

Wacky Wed...how good are you with money (in honor of Tax Day)
You Are Okay With Money |
You're about average with money, which means you probably don't have a lot of it. Your instincts tell you to stay out of debt and spend wisely... But you don't always listen to your instincts! With a little more effort, you could have a nice little nest egg. You just have to control your spending. |

33 months down.....
Well it's been 33 months today since our papers were logged in at the CCAA, 33 months since we started our journey to our daughter Chynna, how many more months you ask? well til she is ready for us I suppose....
We have started the renewal of our paperwork, for the third time, hopefully this will be the last time we have to do this paperwork, I forgot how awful it is to get all the papers together (and they don't even have to be notarized, certified, etc.)....
But in the end, we will be holding our baby girl...so hold on Chynna, we're coming for you!!

Your emotions don't control you, and you are a very disciplined person. There's no way that you'd go out of control and eat too much chocolate! |
