Cinco De Mayo

5 years ago I danced with My Best Friend!!! I do not have any good digital pictures, so these will have to do. I did not purposely load them in double. But that just is a great way to describe the blessings of my marriage to Bart. He may be a pain in the @*# sometimes...but God is always there with extra blessing to follow up. I am thankful to have God with us to guide us through, we never would have made it with out Him. I see more each day how we are made for each other and also how difficult a challenge marriage can be. It is the "wood" anniversary (5 years). I finally had a good time to buy him a bonsai tree. He has wanted one for some time. He thinks he's going to make a hobby out of it. Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid comes to mind. He bought me a book (made from a tree, paper) I have been wanting....Joyce Meyer's "Look Great, Feel Great". So we covered the WOOD part. We will be taking our annual trip to Iowa today. I packed for a week. COO is no possibility for me! I am excited to leave the house and see family. First though, I must go to the dentist and take advantage of being married by using my spouses dental insurance coverage to fix a broken filling.

And just think....maybe Kate will be born today! We found out we are LID. I have not had a chance to explain this or tell everyone what a great thing this is. LID....Logged in Date. It is the Date we will watch for. China goes by dates to move files from waiting to reviewing to matching to referring. So we wait in line behind the other LID's. Ours is April 12, which was very fast since they (China) recieved it on the 10th. A while back it was taking weeks for this. I like 2 days better. Jaclyn at IFS (our agency) has been great! Now we WAIT..... and walk!
