She's Coming Home!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, before I start let me just say that I am REALLY EXCITED !! However, I have had a CRAZY day!!! And I feel completely drained and stressed out! We knew that we could get the call today and that made me so nervous this morning. So much so that I thought I was going to throw up. Riley had his physical this morning and then I raced back home with him and decided I was going to sew while I waited. Jesse was driving up to Sarasota and kept calling me to freak me out, so I told him to stop calling me. I was sitting at my sewing machine with the phone and my flip video camera. I knew that if it was going to happen today I would get the call around 10:30 am, and sure enough at 10:15 the phone rang and my caller ID lady said,"Lifelink Corp calling" . I have the whole thing on video. It's really funny. And then I taped Riley's reaction which was a scream and then ," Why are you taping me?" . So with all the excitement ,I had the task of booking the last minute flight. We originally thought that we would be able to fly him out on Wednesday and come back on Tuesday, however that didn't end up happening. Eastern wants us there for 4 full business days, I'm sure to get more visits in with the foster family and the babies so everyone is comfortable. This meant that either I got him out on Sunday or he was going to have to stay there over a week because of the weekend. Well I panicked!! All that faith I had went right out the window. I trusted GOD this whole time to get me through the wait and then when I really needed to trust I couldn't even fathom it. I felt out of control all day because I didn't know where Jesse was going to stay and who was going to pick him up and I obsessed over all of the things I have NO control over. What I really should have done was pray about it and just trust the HE got me this far and he wouldn't let me down now at the most important part. I ended up going to church and attending my Signpost class and felt much better afterwards. My friend Dominique and I were just talking about stepping out into faith and trusting GOD and there couldn't have been a better day than today to really exercise that. In the midst of the chaos I got a call from my brother who is a sales rep for C*utco and he gave me one of his speeches that he gives his new sales kids. He told me that today was a"CBD" , a character building day. He is really into this positive thinking stuff right now. It did make me feel a little bit better. But now after I have had almost 12 hours to comprehend what is about to happen I am finally at peace and completely trusting of GOD's ability to get my husband there safely and get my daughter home with him, even though I still have no idea where he is staying.:) Thanks for all the warm wishes and prayers on FB. My daughter will be FOREVER mine on May 29th at 7:53 pm , unless there is a flight delay.......Praise GOD!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
YAY!!!
If you are still looking for a place for Jesse to stay, we stayed at the Seokyo last time and it is nice. It is within walking distance to ESWS and Phillip Yeo at KHRC.com was able to get us a good rate (I believe the number is on the website). He could also help book other hotels.
I can't wait to see Bee's homecoming pictures!
WAHOO WAHOO WAHOOO!!!!! Congrats! I hope your hubby has an amazing trip. And I can't wait to see your sweet girl in your arms!!!!!
