To long!

It's been far to long since I've written. I have to admit to being depressed about the long wait and all the possible questions that could be coming from the CCAA. Rumors have run rampant about weight restrictions and I am scared to death.

We just got back from Disney World and I'm down 43 pounds. We had a blast there but I just couldn't stop thinking about how Ariel should have been there with us. We have decided on the name Ariel-Grace Barbara Kirksey. I had a dream where I realized that it's by God's grace that Ariel will come home to us. In that dream I knew that I had to include the name Grace. It was as if God was giving me her name.

As of right now December is out of the review room so we should officially be in the review room. Everytime I get an email alert or the phone rings my heart flutters a little thinking it could be Kevie with questions from the CCAA. I will breath such a sigh of relief when we see that January is out of reveiw.

On the home front John-Cole is having a super 9th grade year! He is playing both Jr. High and High School Football. He was elected to the Homecoming Court and will be escorting Halea Brown and Matt McClelan will be escorting Chelsea Stevenson. I can't wait to see him dressed up! He has grown so much over the past few months. He's turning into such a handsome young man. He still has his sense of humor though.
