Loving the sun

After weeks of rainy gray weather, the sun is finally out for more than a few hours at a time!  I am so happy!  And June is here already... my favorite month!  This weekend we have a get together with family to celebrate my mom's birthday and my birthday.  I'm ready for a fun celebration (with more sun!)

Having nice weather helps keeps my spirits up.  I haven't engaged in much adoption-talk lately because our news of delayed travel is so depressing.  Some days I don't feel like this is real, or I don't feel "like a mom" and it's heartbreaking.  Pre-referral, I kind of had that same feeling.  It didn't feel "real" or really sink in at that point.  Then the referral and pictures gave me a boost to feel "we have our son!".  The first part of this year was a little better with being busy with school, and we got a few updates on A and a video.  Now this part of the process feels like the beginning.  Some days are better than others, and I am just glad that so far the spring seems to have gone by quickly.  I hope the rest of the year does the same.  I love summer, so I normally want it to go really slow, but I'm ok with time flying by this year!

June has lots of fun stuff planned.  We have the birthdays and then fathers day... any excuse to get our family together for good food is fun!  I am also hosting a baby shower for my good friend later this month.  They are waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl, and I can't wait to find out!  Their new little one will share a birthday (or be pretty close to it) with our little man, so that will be fun in years to come!  And then since we got rained out of camping for Memorial Day, we planned another trip for later this month.  Staying busy makes the time go quick!!

Happy June!!
