Lovely, lovely, lovely!

So Jas and I have been waiting for the agency approval letter to come in the mail before truly celebrating. I was down with the email version, but my beloved was anxious to be holding the actual letter in his hands. The “Congratulations! If you don’t totally screw up the homestudy, you just might end up parents in the near future” letter.

So Sunday night Jason checks the PO Box and finds the real deal- all 20 pounds of it (well, not quite 20 pounds… but there truly was a lot of information stuffed into one little envelope)! We opened up a bottle of wine, took some pictures of the envelope (wow… the things we’re documenting), then tore it right open. And there was the letter. We were ever so stoked that the email wasn’t a farce- and that CHI really DID approve us. Incredible.

And then guess what my husband did? He gave me a beautifully wrapped box with an even more beautifully thought out letter. And within the beautifully wrapped box was the very necklace I’ve been staring at practically every day on the internet, just in order to make sure that the seller didn’t stop making them and selling them before I had one wrapped around my neck. Sweet Jason said he’s had it for about a month, knowing that I sort of felt like MY LIFE DEPENDED ON GETTING THIS VERY NECKLACE. And now we don’t have to worry about anything. Because now we have the approval letter and the necklace. Boy Jason- you sure do know how to make a gal’s day.

This post almost made me cry (good cry). :)
I wish my husband were that thoughtful about gifts. He's great with cards and words-but, finding a meaningful gift is rare. ha.

I'm glad I got to "meet" you through the blog! You seem like a fantastic person!
(I post almost every day too!-I'm a blogaholic).
And, what the heck-I'll post a long comment here:
I read all of your posts and I can relate to the not liking certain blog sites. Now that I'm here, I hardly ever post on my "non-adoption" blog (Livejournal). Also, my mind doesn't settle down either. Waiting is not something I've ever done well and I feel this entire process is teaching me something I should have learned decades ago:
patience...
sweet, sweet patience
(I really think it's a myth).
