Who Knew??

Did you ever think that by starting a blog that you would:

* Share a similar journey with so many people?

* Make friends?

* Help another family make their adoption dream come true?

* Share the most mundane parts of your life and get comments?

* Use Bloglines to manage all the blogs that you follow?

* Meet your "cyber" friends for dinner in "real life"?

* Shed tears? Both happy and sad ones.

* Have people miss you when you take a blogger break?

* Never be able to survive the wait without your blog?

* Have posts running around in your head?

* Be referred to as "one of mommy's blogger friends"

* Help your daughter connect with other little girls just like her!

Is that what Hannah calls us? Mommy's blogger friends. Funny.

And no I never imagined all this. Speaking of which... I miss you guys. We need to talk soon. Been too long.

Thank goodness for this, though. I don't know how I would have gotten through this journey without it and all of you!!

I never imagined HALF of what this last couple of years has brought! But, of course, in all the best ways.

Oh, and I voted for Sophie. That pic is adorable. :-)

Yes it IS AMAZING!!!!

Funny how, when something happens, one of my first thoughts is, "I have to blog about that"!!!!

And I now have a new category of friends, too: "bloggy friends".

What a wonderful world we live in. :)

Blessings,
Rebecca
