Today I mailed a load of HAGUE savvy info to my Social Worker-
This means that we are officially "back on track".
I must admit that I am a tad disappointed that we will not be traveling over summer vacation, as I had planned.
"Getting past myself" and accepting the fact that God's travel plans aren't always the same as My travel plans has been difficult.
My first reaction is to be ANGRY that I haven't gotten my way.
Spoiled? Yes! Shocker...to anyone who knows me.
I like to PLAN, PLAN, PLAN...and when those plans are changed for me...well you can imagine.
I keep telling myself that God is dealing with my "instant gratification issues". For some reason, that makes it easier to swallow.
I am happy that we are moving forward. Can't wait to see what is coming our way.
Glad you are back on track, and I completely understand the frustrations of a super planner who has to keep re-adjusting :(

YAY! so happy for you! Andrea, you are such a hoot. I don't know how, even in your frustrations, you can still make me laugh.
