Hot pink ridiculous carpet!

At target yesterday - another one of my favorite places besides Costco. Andrey and I bought the baby little newborn diapers and a hot pink carpet for the nursery...i figure if i'm going to do the pink thing it might as well be a wild pink.
I've had so many boy things from thomas and andrey that i love the softer feminine colors...i'm moving furniture in and out of the nursery like a mad woman. It's very exciting not knowing who is going to join our family. I learned awhile back that life has suprises and good thing i like suprises! I have a little baby bag packed in case we get a hospital call...that is where a mother has given birth and she's in the hospital and she wants to give her child to another family to raise. I want to be ready to get on a plane or car or wherever and make it there quick.

we are all in the same boat one way or another

One of the things i love most about life is that no matter what situation you're in there's probably someone else in the same boat or close to it. As i get older my heart is so grateful for those people. I guess it started with the miscarriages and reading the writings of all the women who knew what that was like...i didn't have to feel alone, i wasn't alone. And now, i've been warmly welcomed by our new adoption facilitators Little Angels "waiting families" group where many woman have accepted me as a facebook friend and offered support to me. I am overwhelmed by the generosity of people's hearts that they can still wish others the best while they're wishing the best for their self and i realize that i live by this too. In the bible, it's summed up by weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. It's that simple and it works. We should all be cheering for each other because as you get older you realize that there really is no race and we are not competitors but we are all striving to achieve our life's work. Wow, i think i just may be mature. ha!! Well maybe that cup of coffee and pizza and chocolate i had this morning really made me philosophical!
