A Worthy Journey: My quick 10 minute update :)

My amazing Aunt, whom I love very much, e-mails back and forth with me (she lives in Hawaii so as much as I'd LOVE to chat in person this often, it's just not feasible). She is a great support and I can tell her anything knowing that she "gets it". She's such a huge blessing in my life! Anyhow, she always makes sure to send me quick 10 minute updates, as she calls them, so that I know she is thinking of us and is keeping up with us, which is uplifting and encouraging. Today it's my turn for a 10 minute update, which I will share with all of you :).

I had e-mailed our district senator, as well as the state senator, about our adoption and the time it is taking to get an approval. I was very encouraged to hear back from our district senator today. He said that the adoption seemed like a wonderful opportunity for our family and that he is going to see what his office can do. It might not have been a concrete answer, but it is for sure a step in the right direction! YEAH!

I also just had to share what my friend Sue did for us, because it touched me so immensely. This weekend while we were at my parent's cabin, I got an e-mail from her saying that she has been in prayer for us and our adoption. She also said that felt God laying it on her heart to e-mail our Governor as well as Senator McCain about our adoption approval situation. Isn't that amazing?!?!?! I am so touched that she would take the time out of her day to advocate for our family. What an amazing woman she is! I am blessed to have her as a friend!

I pray that we will have more good news to update you with in the near future, but for now, I am thankful to have a renewed sense of encouragement and hope!

Before I run (man am I EXHAUSTED), here are a few pictures from the county fair in Flagstaff that we went to over labor day weekend.
