There are not enough words to express my feelings on this day. On July 20, 2006 we became a family. Two whole years have gone by! Where did that time go? It went by so fast and yet while I was waiting for her, I could have sworn time was standing still.
We will spend the day with family, and I have a special treat for all my blog friends. A brand spanking new video to celebrate this special day with us. To the Burningham and Roginske families I will be thinking of you today. I am so thankful for these 3 beautiful girls for bringing us all together. We can't wait to see you in December. Of course we look forward to finally meeting the Munsinger family in person too. Enjoy the video! I don't do anything small so of course it's in two parts.

Tagged!
I have been tagged! This is the first time that I have been tagged and so I am a little slow in my response. Dusty has tagged me and I have to write 6 words that describe how I am feeling right now, and then tag 5 others. That will be hard as I can think of 3, but I will come up with 2 more. I met Dusty through her Adoption Voyages web site, and this December we hope to meet them in person!
1. Awe- I am not sure if this is a really considered a feeling, but I feel it all the time. When I watch Shealin sleep, I am still in awe that she is here and she is mine. I love to watch her sleep. Which leads me to my next feeling.
2. Exhausted- Single motherhood is a challenge sometimes. Working all day and cooking/cleaning and keeping a 3 year old happy at night, can leave a person very tired. I often find myself falling asleep right along side her.
3. Full- I feel full for the first time in a long time. When I say full I mean my heart is full. Before Shealin, I always felt that a piece was missing and for a long time I did not know what it was. She has filled that missing piece. While she can try my patience at times, I cannot imagine my life without her.
4. Blessed- For many reasons I feel blessed. Blessed for having Shealin in my life, but also for meeting so many wonderful people along the way. I am also blessed with such wonderful friends, who have helped me before, during and after.
5. Impatient- Sometimes, I feel great impatience with Shealin, I forget that she is only 3. I also feel we should be further along with our potty training, although others tell me it will happen when she is ready, it will click. I am working on this, as I keep telling her she has no patience, hmmmm wonder where she picked that up?
6. Scared- I feel scared that our time together will be over way to soon. Not sure why I feel this way, but I do. I am scared I will never be able to give her everything I want for her and hope what I have is enough.
OK that's me in 6 strong words now to pick 5 others, so here goes I tag:
Susan - Aka Kylie's mommy. She answered all of my "waiting" questions and then some.
Kris - a great single mom to be. She takes the best pictures and writes so beautifully.
Heather - another mom to be, sooner and later. A fellow Jerseyan whose blog I love to follow.
Donna - We don't really know each other, but I follow her blog, its a great blog and they should be getting their referral in the next couple of months.
Laurie - Another single mom to be. We don't know each other, but I follow her blog.
OK, you have to write six words that describe how you are feeling right now and link back to me. Than tag 5 more people, and leave them a comment to let them know they are tagged.
Have fun ladies!
