There is something to be said for that. I mean. I am NEXT!!! I am pretty excited now and not at all upset about not getting our referral this month. I guess it just feels "right".
So, let the countdown to Mia FINALLY begin...
p.s I don't really dance like this, I am much worse :o)
Chrisser, I hope you are dusting off those dancing shoes!!

WooHoo! You are definitley next. I was really hoping to pop that champagne cork this month. But I guess it may taste better next month when it's that much warmer outside and the champagne is that much cooler from sitting in the fridge.
So how many days was this batch? two? Tell me my math is wrong.
Jenny,
I thought of you immediatly when I saw that they referred two days and missed you. Didn't you always think you were getting your referral in August? Guess you knew what you were talking about. So now that you're next....the room is done, right? Now what about stuff to take on the trip? And what about the 100 Good wishes quilt? Do you have suitcases? And don't forget a thermos. ;-)

I love to see you dancing! I really really can't wait...not just for your referral so that I can see your beautiful daughter, but for all that comes after!
Dear Jenny,
This is such great news. I can not believe that you are so close to getting that daughter that you always wanted. God is really on your side.I will continue to pray for you and your whole family. Are you planning on telling your whole family the good news? This could be the one thing that brings your whole family back together.I think your Mom would really like to see the whole family back together again.Families are very important in good times and bad. I really hope you think long and hard about this.I pray every night that you find it in your heart to start to get the family back together again. I will continue the prayers and I also put your family on a prayer list at my church. I will continue to keep you and your family on the prayer list as long as the journey for Mia continues and the your family is still in so much pain.I look ever day for updates on how things are goingfor you and your journey. I hope you do not mind that I have you and your family on this prayer list? I feel that God will help you heal and also your family.God Bless and I look forward to getting the next update.

Jess,
I hear what you are saying, but let me point out a few things..
1. I would never use my child in that way. I would never burden my child like that.That is like saying a couple has a child in hopes it will save their marriage.
2. Even though I might forgive my sister for her actions, that does not mean I have to be accepting of her actions and behavior. Forgiveness is not saying that things are okay now, and then going back into an abusive situation. It is not letting someone off the hook by saying, “You didn’t do anything wrong.” Some people think that forgiveness is unconditional love with no boundaries or accountability. It is not. Forgiveness is not denial that a hurtful situation exists, and it isn’t denying the fact that your feelings are hurt. And forgiveness does not mean you accept the person’s behavior. God does not forgive us and then not expect us to change our ways...if we don't then what does that forgivness really do for us.
3. My job is to protect my child in any way I can...I do not have to subject her to someone who has a toxic personality. My concern is my child.
4. Forgivness works both ways....One has to be willing to forgive and One has to be willing to ask for that forgivness.
I have thought long and hard about it, holding a grudge will do me more harm than my sister...
Can I be around my sister? Yes
Can I be polite and courteous?Yes Will I involve her in my child's live as much I a deem appropriate and safe for my child? Yes.
I appreciate you prayers, I do.
How the heck did you know I dance like that? Hmm?! I am trying to think if Leigh or QJ have seen me dancing.... Perhaps, but not likely. Well, your little dancing person has blown up my spot and my chair dance may pale in comparison. But that will not keep me from dancing! I will be cutting a rug, girl. I am going to go out and buy a new tape so as not to complicate my (QJ, please help me....) download and posting of my booty-shake. All for the momentous occasion of the introduction of your lovely Mia! Cannot wait, Jenny! Post more, this is so exciting!

Jenny,
I'm glad you were able to answer Jess's comments. It seems as though she says the same thing in every comment on your blog.
I noticed you don't allow anon comments, although Jess's profile is not very forthcoming on who she is.
Oh, and Chrisser, I'll certainly help you upload the video of your shakin' your booty.
