This weekend / This week

This weekend is our 7 year anniversary of marriage. We don't know what we are doing this weekend but I have a feeling that we are going to the house on the rocks. Don and I have talked about going for a couple of years and we were hoping to share the experience with Makayla. Maybe when she gets older. When we ever get her.

I try to keep a positive spirit when I write on the Internet to share with everyone. However this mothers day was really hard for me this year. I keep seeing these little girl pictures from China with there new moms from my online china adoption groups and other adoption websites . Don says to quite looking at them but they are so addicting. When we started the adoption process it was only suppose to be a 7 month wait til we got a referral and here we sit waiting 14 months later and still no Makayla.......................Ok enough mushy stuff for today.

On a good note. Dons parents are moving back to Wisconsin I believe sometime in July , they will be living with us for a short period til they find a place of their own and get jobs in the area. With Don's dad having heart surgery in March of this year I believe ( but don't hold me to it) they are getting home sick and would like to live closer to the family. When they moved away Seth (dons brother Scott's son) was only a year old and now he is almost six and starting school
this year. Its hard to keep up with kids growing up when you live 14 hours away.
I can only speak for Don and I , but I think everyone in the family can agree to is that we open our home and hearts to you both you Karey and Les. Come home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week in Wisconsin has been miserable weather wise. For Wisconsin in June the temps should be in the 40's in the morning and 70's in the afternoons. This week we have had 60's morning and upper 80's and today 92 degrees. That is just crazy. Don even put in the air conditioners in today. I had the heat on just a month and half ago.

I went to the doctor on Monday for a check up on my diabetes. They upped my dosage on one of my meds . Over all the doctor was happier with my test results. A month ago they started me on Lantis a insulin shot that I only have to give once a day. I have been doing quite we'll giving my self a shot everyday. I thought it would be hard since I don't like the site of needles but the overall affect that it has made makes it worth it.. Since I have been on the shot my sugars went down from 250-300 to around 100-120. It has made a big difference is several ways. I have been sleeping better and over all feeling really good.

Well I have to get off of here and get stuff done before we leave for our big anniversary weekend.

Referrals are in for June

THis is another sad month for referrals . CCAA china affairs only gave referrals for 6 days. Good news is that we are 6 days closier to our referral. If you are wondering what a referral means or what the information is for please read in our posts " referrals" Located in the right hand side of the site. For more information please read "Why is it taking so long to get Makayla" . Also there is a post for my predictions on referrals and when I think we will be traving in posts " Predictions on Referrals"
