Oh how I wish it were an easy task to just make a decision. While we were on vacation this past weekend to visit our fabulous friends (pics from that soon) I had this emotion of complete ANXIETY come over me. YOU all KNOW I can't wait to get my hands on our little girl in Ethiopia, to see her sweet face for the first time-hold her and love on her for a week. However I was holding Rylee at the time while he was sleeping, staring at his sweet face and thought "There is NO way I can leave him 2 times for such long trips within a 6 week period to such a far away place". I can't do it. Clearly if i HAD to I would dig deep and find a way.
So I placed an email to our director and asked us what the process would be for one parent to travel for court. It's tenative right now, but after Ryan and I talked about it he was really pretty excited to hear that I would "for-go" my first trip to Ethiopia if we could. The positives really do outweigh the negatives and I am 96% at peace with my decision (I reserved the 4% after I opened up our NEW pics of our baby girl on our way HOME from Vacation last night) But I still really feel good about the decision WE have made. It will save us about $2000 as well, so we're hoping and praying that this is something that works out for us, and the judge will approve just one parent to travel. I have TOTAL faith that Ryan can do this, he has reassured and reassured me that he can do this. Stay Tuned.....
BTW , Ethiopian courts open in like 3 short days! Pray for word on our court date SOON!!!
