dear april...


Dear April,

You blew straight through the calendar... faster than the blink of an eye.  You challenged me in new and exciting ways.  You brought dinners with friends... a quiet week at the office... lakeside weddings... late nights with old college girlfriends... a much-needed beach trip... even more-needed mother/daughter time... new raised bed gardens... doctor appointments... adoption seminars... and sushi date nights.

Never a dull moment.  April, thank you for being a month of learning and growing... of patience and redirection... of stop and go.  And as quick as I can turn the calendar page to May, the craziness starts again.  Catching a flight tonight and starting it all over again.

Goodbye, April... Hello, May.

Love,
Julia

April sneaked right on past me. I can't believe tomorrow starts May!

Adoption seminars!?! We are finally coming to the end of our adoption journey. It's not easy. But the 2 year old boy we're adopting has been spending weekends with us and everything just feels complete when he's here. I'm so looking forward to things coming to a close. Let me know if you need a few words of encouragement as you continue your journey.
