My wish....

OK, this past month has been really strange. I kind of came to terms with the extra wait and went on a trip to New York around the 4th of July and booked a flight to go to Florida with my brother, sister in law, and nephew for September. Now today they matched the next set of people and they are done through 11/21/05. That means they have one month of paperwork to match before me. SO CLOSE!!!! I am now 95% sure that I will have my referral/picture of Malia by Christmas.

On that note, I had a dream Wednesday night and I had to jot down my thoughts (in the dark at 2 a.m.). Here is a draft of what popped in my head at the time as my wish for my future daughter, Malia.

My wish for you...

May you experience happiness, laughter, giggles, and love.

But when you experience sadness, I will dry your eyes.

When you experience fear, I will comfort you.

When you experience pain, I will protect you.

My wish for you my daughter is that you have a wonderful, happy, and fulfilled life.

OK, it might be a little sappy but what can I say when I came up with it in the middle of the night.

Other news: My sister and brother in law, who are expecting their first child in December, just found out that she is having a boy (see the cute ultrasound picture). And we found out this month that my brother and sister in law are expecting their second child in March (almost on the same date as Garrett, their first child, was born). Congratulations to both families. We keep telling my parents (well my mom) to be careful when she wished for grandkids. We will have a full house this time next year!

P.S. There was also the obsession with Harry Potter in July. Not only did I see the new movie twice. I also finished the last book in a week... I will not disclose the ending, but it is well worth reading!
