Weekend?

Didn't turn out as planned.  But it was a great weekend staying in my nice warm cozy home :).  We ended up getting some wet snow on Sunday all day, so we didn't head out for a walk just to be drenched...we've done this a few months ago and were freezing!  Then on Monday, we had about 4 inches of snow, so we decided to stay home.   We watched Life as we Know it, Buried, and Romona and Beezus.  I was disappointed in Buried, but oh well.
I emailed our case worker and asked her some questions on the agency, their placement rates and such.  She can't really give us a time frame because she's not sure how birth parents will take to us living overseas.  I'm hoping that our child's parents will see our situation as a blessing because we are able to travel and see the world.  I pray this does not hold us up...it has been my fear along.  Oh and then with hubby deploying this summer, my biggest fear is they are going to put us on hold and not tell us...they'll pretend we are active.  Our contract expires with BCS in July, so we'll see what happens.  I was also told today that we're not allowed to use another agency.  I was thinking of signing up with a national agency, but I guess that won't be happening.  I NEED to stop worrying and take a step out of this and let Him be in control.
My little sister will be here next week!  I'm so excited, then we are off to Greece.  How fun...the one place I've always wanted to go.  Now, I've always imagined it to be a total of 4 ladies, but I'll just say we are giving this trip a test for the future trip.  Sounds silly, but I imagine it to be like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...it better be :)...LOL.
I'm on a great roll this week for cooking.  2 great meals have been made and hubby loved them.  Last night I made Thai Glass Noodle Soup with Thai Spring Rolls...yummy!  Tonight I made fajitas...oh man...these things were tasty, just like in the restaurants.  I haven't made fajitas in probably 12 years...just something I hadn't done.  Hubby came in the kitchen tonight as I was squeezing a lime over the chicken and says..."we have a Julia Child in the house this week...smelling good in here".  As he was saying it, I had the voice of Julia Child herself in my head saying it...LOL.  It was great.  Some days I wish I were her, when I lived in the dorms I was often referred to as her, and now, I still am.  Maybe I should start a new passion?  Well, that's it for today.

Have a great day!
