A Month of Celebrations

This past May was such a special month of celebrations in my family. One niece graduated college summa cum laude and my other niece graduated high school 4th in her class of over 400. They are not just great students, but also great friends. Sometimes I feel sad that Chloe won't have a sister so close, my heart is comforted though by knowing that these girls will be awesome cousins and role models.

Sweet sisters, dearest friends

May 2009 also brought the 36 month anniversary of my paperwork being logged in China. Being busy with the graduation preps and celebration parties made the anniversary so much more bearable as it was easy to feel the love and support of family and friends. Plus, now that 3 years have gone by, I truly feel that much closer to my daughter, and Lord willing, I believe I will see her face in the next six to nine months. Along the way, rumor queen posted some revised projections and I can't even express how stoked I was to see my LID on the chart at last. Even with the worst case projections, my heart has been lifted. What a difference this feels since I've been saying "another year" for so long!
