Rescued two ladybugs last night!

We rescued two ladybugs last night. Both of them were in the upstairs bathroom. I guess there really is something to this lucky ladybug thing. We got our Log In Date and saw 2 ladybugs on the same day.
John-Cole went to work at the bowling lanes yesterday. His first day of real work! He will get paid on Sunday.
I bought Ariel the cutest little ladybug outfit off of ebay to celebrate our log in date. Isn't it cute! I can't wait to get my baby girl home.
Love you Ariel-Jadeyn!

Yay got our LID!!!!!

Yay!!!! Our Log in Date is 1-17-06!!!! So 9-10 months we will have our ARIEL!!!!
Saw a ladybug last night so maybe that meant something. Also saved one last week! Its been really icy here and John-Cole is out of school today. Hes going to the bowling lanes to work for a little while this afternoon. I can't remember if I've posted a diet update but as of last Tuesday I'm down 20 pounds!! Its feels great getting into clothes! Even though we are going to Disney I'm not splurging. I'm going to watch what I eat. I don't want to gain much back. Love you baby girl! We are officially on our way!

We're going to Disney!

Well after getting depressed because of the refferal rumors we decided to spend spring break, March 10-18 at Disney! We are going to stay at Pop.
I read a new rumor today which has referrals in August again, goodness I hope so. I want my baby girl home! Beside that we havne't heard anything about our LID. I emailed Kevie and she said it would probably be March before we heard anything but that she is sure we are logged in sometimes in January!
I can't wait to get to Disney and buy Ariel lots of stuff!!!!

No LID Yet and Ladybug

Well still no Log In Date! SCREAM!!!!!!! I just want to know when it is!!!!!
John-Cole was sitting in the recliner last night and he said "Hello little ladybug!" He took her outside so maybe that means more good luck.
If anyone is reading this please join our family in praying that the wait time between LID and referral speeds up. Right now I have heard that it could be February before we travel. Goodness I hope not. I really want to have my baby girl home before Christmas. CCAA's websight says that they are through reviewing all applications for June but they don't mention any referrals past May 18th. I hope they speed up.
Love you babygirl, so so much and just want you home with us.
Dear Lord, I love you so much and would like to ask you to be with all of the employees at CCAA. Give them as much help as they need to speed the process up. Lord I know our daughter will be here with us in YOUR time and not ours. I know you have our daughter picked out for us and I know she is meant to be ours. Lord please just be with us through this hard wait and be with Ariel and let her know that we love her so much and that we wish we could have her right now but that You are there with her, loving her and comforting her until we can be there to get her. I love you Lord and I know You do things for a reason and for what is best. Amen!

We started our shots today!

Well we started our shots today finally. We had Hepatitus A and B, one in each arm. I have to admit to being a little chicken because of that .00001 percent chance of an allergic reaction but it didn't happen. So now we take one more in a month and then the last 2 in 6 months which will be around August 7th. It was a bit on the expensive side. $240 for the three of us and then it will be a bit less in a month and then another $240 in August.
We still haven't heard of a log in date. Still waiting patiently. I know Bethany got a few referrals on January 4th and then none at the end of January so hopefully on the next batch of referrals we will get our LID.
I weighed in tonight and gained 2 pounds. Thats depressing. I know its either the Superbowl Party Sunday Night or the new vitamins that are making me gain. The leader said don't take the vitamins anymore so I'm not.
Humm...new goings on around here. Nothing really. We still need to get in Ariel's room and get things started. There are so many bags and things in there that need to be gone through. John also mentioned painting each of the walls a different color which would be cute and then using the stencils. We really need to get started now that basketball is over.
Purpose Camp's theme is going to be True Love Waits this year promoting virginity until marriage which I think is excellent! We just ordered John-Cole a very nice necklace. Here is a picture of the necklace,

I did see a ladybug today which makes sense since we started our shots.
We are getting there slowly but surely. I'm so ready to go!
Love you Princess!
