Dirty is Just Dirty!

I got a fair bit accomplished on my scrap book this weekend. I am just about finished with 2005 and I will forge right in to 2007 and try to get "the year of the journal" completed quickly so I can back track to 2006 which is already almost completely prepped. In no way do I expect to get caught up, but maybe I can put a dent into it before Ellie comes home...I do have to get onto her life book as well.

I am getting excited about my trip on Monday. I have to pick up a few things...namely foot warmers. I am taking these because we may have quite a bit of down time in region...so, we might try to get out and walk around a little bit.

Not a lot to update on. I did get to talk to my Fc this afternoon. I tried to nail her down on today's projected wait-time for Kras. It seems to change. She said that there was a handful of families that traveled before us...meaning that we are not that far back in line and that 4-5 months would be a good estimate for right now. This does in fact indicate that they are expecting a bit of a slow down but with this trip to hold me over, I feel that if I have to wait an extra month, I will be ok. Just being able to check on her is going to make a huge difference. So, looks like, for today anyway, we can expect a court date anytime between late March and late April. I pray that if we cannot be home for her birthday, I can at the very least be with her.

I am not hearing wonderful things about this "new hotel" our agency is working with so I have added sheets and a towel to my packing list for this short trip...good stuff! I despise a dirty hotel. I can handle "different," I can handle "dated," whatever..."dirty" is just dirty!

praying for many blessings for you as you travel to spend a few days with Elle- wish I could stow away in your carry-on- but that would really be cramped :)
Thanks for checking in today. God is always good, sometimes He has us take a step back to be able to see it.

Praying blessings for you and Deb on your lodgings- that you would have a great report to bring back :)

Lori-
Praying for safe travels for you and as much time with your baby as possible. Tell everyone there hello for me! Give lots of details when you get back- it helps me to feel closer to my baby.

I completely agree about the Dirty.
I can handle old, but not dirty.

I am so excited about your reunion next week and look forward to reading your posts on your visits. I too was hoping you would receive a court date sooner, but at least you will have some time with Ellie before returning for court. I completely understand your decision to travel again as I was thinking the same thing myself!

Safe travels!
