Our Journey to Jenna Begins...


Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom

If you've never tried this ride at Animal Kingdom you are missing out! I really love roller coasters and as a kid and I would go on them over and over and over! Now my head isn't as balanced and I get dizzy sometimes (especially when I do a somersault in the pool-- OMG it's awful.) I only go on the roller coasters occasionally. Expedition Everest is awesome though and one of my most favorite ever!!
See the part on the top of the picture where they are climbing up the hill?? I love that part-- I get all giddy, anxious and full of excitement (and FEAR!!).

That's where we are right now with our adoption process. We just made sure the over the head safety harness was locked and the "click click click " of the climb up the hill has started. We mailed in our initial application with our first check on Monday. I put it in our Christmas card to the office-- thought it might make them smile!! All day Monday I felt giddy, nervous, anxious and just plain overall excited for this journey to begin... again... for the last time....

This is the beginning of the completion of our Weber Family. This is soooooo exciting to me I feel like I'm climbing Expedition Everest and anticipating the drop off, backwards switch track move and the moments of darkness AND LIGHT that will soon follow! The thing I know with all my heart is I will safely finish this ride and it will be an incredible one because God is writing our story. I'm holding onto this Bible verse and engraving it in my brain:
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Sooooooooo.... here we goooooo!! Everyone raise their arms in the air!!! Woooo Hoooooo!!!

How cool is this??

So I was wasting time on Facebook the other day (nothing new-- bad habit) and I came across this link for make a book out of your Blog (http://blog2print.sharedbook.com)!! I was so excited and I ordered one and called it Volume 1!! Perfect timing since Kaycee turned a year and we are just beginning the adoption process for "Jenna."
Update on our process... My husband says to me last week: "So where are we with the paperwork process? Did you get our profile book done yet?" What??!!?? I told him I was planning on starting in the spring when our tax refund was in process and it just seemed like that was a good time. Well he thought we should just get a move on!! Boy when he changes his mind he really changes it and he's ready to roll!!!! So I called Bethany Christian Services in Winter Garden http://www.bethany.org/wintergarden (we love them!!) and asked for an application! It's on my desk and my goal is to fill it out this weekend. I have to get a physical Monday for a new job I got this week so I called Bethany again the other day and asked them to email me the physical forms--I figured I'd get things done as I go!!! I'm getting excited about this now!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
