what a day....

what a day....

What a crazy couple of days! Fall is in the air and it has been nice and a bit cool at times. My sister hired me yesterday to do some fall decorating shopping for her...fun! It's always nice to spend someone elses money. This morning I went over to put everything together...pumpkins, gordes....wreaths. I realized I had forgotten a pot at my house just a mile away. Jumped in my car and went around the corner only to hear...thump thump....I had forgotten to close my back hatch! Ha ha.....3 pumpkins were rolling down the country road! I managed to save two out of three....and just for effect...I had to leave the one. Now I know how that happens. It's usually watermelons I see on the sides of roads! LOl!

After being over at my sister's house and decorating I decided to go home and get lunch....as I have been doing for months...I checked my email for anything from Erin. It was titled "Good News"!!!! I am going back to Kaz to get my little sweet pumpkin!! Stella's passport should be ready and I have appointments lined up for the International clinic and our exit interview for October 18th and 20th!! We should be home on October 23!!!!!! I can hardly believe it. It is really happening! the longest I had gone without seeing Stella since June was about 20 days....this time seemed so much longer, it's been about 43 days so far. You start to think that it was a dream and that it was never really going to happen. It is and I am going back to get my baby girl!

For those of you who already read this post on "Kazakhsam" sorry, I will be merging my blogs somehow soon or just making then both public. I love my journey that led me to sweet Stella and just as soon as I get her home I will make the story available. It's been a crazy wonderful ride and I think I am in the home stretch!

Yay! Congratulations! I cannot wait to see how much she will blossom once she settles into her home with her Mama! Safe travels!

Hi Lisa-
If you are comfortable doing so, I was wondering if you could email me. We are leaving for Kaz on Monday and I am looking for some guidance and I had some questions that I don't want to put on your blog. I know you had a rocky road getting to Stella and we too are facing some roadblocks. Anyway, if you wouldn't mind could you email MarenLeg at aol dot com? And you can check out our blog if you want to put a face to the name www dot stanwardbound dot blogspot dot com
Thanks so much and congratulations on Stella. I hope the call to come and pick her up and bring her home forever comes soon!

Looking for Sam

This is a blog of my quest to adopt a child from Kazakhstan. Enjoy!
