Blog Stealing

2 Blog posts in 2 days. Not sure if I've done that before....

But, I just HAVE to share the posting from http://www.jenhatmaker.com/blog.htm from today, November 2, 2011 entitled "How to be the Village".

It's amazing.....I especially like her phrase of "waiting purgatory" (that's what we are feeling caught in) and her insights on before and after the airport. I especially chuckled and said "Amen" at the suggestions in "Here's what we would love to experience after the airport" and idea #4 - Cheap wine is fine, or better yet, fine coffee from any of the local Coffee establishments. I have a feeling I will need a lot of cheap wine or fine coffee. :-)

So - if you happen to see us venture out sometime after our adoption is FINALLY complete and our eyes are glazed over and we look exhausted....remember this post and the wonderful suggestions Jen shared. Adoptive families have shared so many of those thoughts and she wonderfully wrapped them up in a real, humorous and beautiful way. Please take the time to read her full posting. Thank you!
