One of my blogger friends, sferrick, informed me that today is "Good News Friday". She had me read Isaiah 40. Those verses were such a good reminder to me that God is completely in control.
For some reason, Kirk felt it was important we call PGN for an update. I was hesitant, but he insisted. Of course Laura was on her lunch break, so it was up to me to get the update in Spanish. Ugh! I spoke with a really nice woman who told me we have been with the 2nd reviewer since the 8th! Praise the Lord!!! I am feeling so thankful that we're one step closer to bringing Bella home!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Thank you so much for all of your prayers! It means so much to me and always brings tears to my eyes when people tell me that!
