WOO HOO!!

It is nice to be able to report football is over BEFORE it got to cold! Our last game was Friday night and yes we lost but overall it was a good game. My son Ty caught a 15 yard pass which in my opinion made the game, ok I could be a little bias..just a little.
I am SO HAPPY to tell you that Alyssa was in the last batch for EP(emigrant permit). We still really do not know when we will get travel. After EP then Korea will get her passport and visa then travel. Under the best circumstances we could be going to get her the week of Christmas, the worst would be the last week of January. Either way she will be home soon!!
Our hope and prayer is to bring Alyssa home the week of Christmas. So please continue to pray!
I am HAPPY to say YEAH the Johnson's are home!!!!!!
Please remember them and the Mueller's in your prayers also.
I hope you all have a GREAT week!!!

Still Waiting

No news yet. Our adoption agency says they will know soon if Alyssa is in the last batch of the year for her EP(Emigrant Permit). I don't know what their definition on soon is but mine is NOW! I am trying to be very patient but not knowing if we get to bring our little girl home this year is killing me. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray that Alyssa is in this batch going forward for EP. Thank You!!!

WE HAVE NEW PICTURES!!!

PRAISE !!!

First I would just like to Praise GOD! He is mighty!!
Last week some people from our adoption agency traveled to Korea. While they were there they were able to see our Alyssa and 29 other children! WOW!! This mean us and 29 other families get new video and pictures of our beautiful children!! So, as I said Praise the Lord!!!!
We are no closer to knowing when Alyssa will get her passport, but we are getting new pictures!! It is hard not to wonder and worry, but I am doing my best to leave it in God's hands. For his timing is perfect!!!
Please pray for the Johnson's safe travel, the Mueller's LOA, and for Alyssa's passport.
My next blog will have new pictures!!!!!!!!!!
So until next time may God bless you all!

Care Package and More

Alyssa's Care Package

There are some people from our adoption agency going to Korea next week, which means we get to send a care package to Alyssa. Woo Hoo! Maybe we will get lucky enough for them to get new pictures of her.

I want to thank all the ladies who hosted the baby shower for Alyssa last Sunday!! THANK YOU!!!

Ty is now in High School Football that means a game every Friday and some Monday JV games. It's a little scary when you see the other team, they always look so HUGE, but I think he holds his own.(I could be a little bias)

In our spare time (ha ha) we have been going to goat shows. Goat shows are now over until spring!!

That's all I have for now I hope I will have some good news SOON!!!!


GO Number 22!!!!

No News!

We are still waiting to see if our Alyssa is going to get her passport or not. It is very difficult not knowing anything! As soon as I know something I will let everyone know. Please pray that we will get to bring her home this year, that the quota will not be met before Alyssa gets her passport! Please also continue to pray for the Johnson's and the Mueller's!

Don't Forget Who Is In Charge!!

It started with an e-mail I received on Thursday. It stated that Korea was getting close to the quota for passports that they allow a year. I made phone calls trying to find out if Alyssa had a passport or if they had filed for her passport yet and got no answers. I was frustrated and having some what of a melt down. My Friday didn't go any better! Then on Saturday much to my surprise I received a letter in the mail stating that Alyssa's visa papers had been forwarded to Korea. Now I really don't know what to think! They have to file for Alyssa's passport and receive it before they can file for her visa. Still confused and frustrated!
Saturday evening it hit me like a lead balloon. I AM NOT in charge!!! The Lord is and it will all happen in his timing NOT mine!! So my new outlook is that it is not when Alyssa comes home it is that she comes home!!!!! Don't get me wrong it is VERY HARD not to wonder but I am doing my best to leave it to my God. I pray for Alyssa every night and I know she will come home!
Now I am getting ready to start a very busy yet fun week. Our local Watermelon Festival is this week and there is something going on every night not to mention the fact that I am a class parent and each class builds a float for the parade on Saturday.
I hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful week!!!
