About Rebecca

I am a wife, a mama, a sister, a daughter, an aunt.

I believe in the best of people, and love that I get to bring out that beauty through photography.

I love quality time with my husband. I do not give up my time with him easily, and I cherish every second we have together.

I love our son with all my heart, and I cannot wait to meet him when we travel across the world to meet him.

I am a user of :) and !!!, because sometimes just one exclamation is just not enough, and I feel like more people need to see a smile :).

I strive to be an encourager, supporter, and believer of other peoples dreams.

I am quick to worry, and wear my heart on my sleeve.

I am convinced that kindness is one of the most important qualities out there.

I have confidence that there are far better things that lie ahead than what we leave behind.

Texture Tuesday | An update about no update

So I realized that it has been a while since we have given any update on our little guy. I realize this because we have been getting a new rounds of questions of something along the lines of “Any updates?” or “any news?” And really, the answer is no… How badly I want to be able to say YES. Here is what we do know! We got a video on our precious little one!! A whole five minutes of watching our son smile, play, stand, reach, and drool (he has 6 teeth now!). I cannot tell you the number of times we have watched his video. It makes my heart so happy to see him growing, happy, and safe. He seems very happy and comfortable with his foster mama, and I am so thankful for her for loving and caring for him while we can’t. If you see me, I am more than happy to share the video! But we can’t put his little face online till we get him home.

SO here is the update about no update. Some things we don’t know… We don’t know if we have been submitted to court yet. We don’t know where the court system is in processing court dates. We don’t know how many families will get seen, per court date. We don’t know where we stack up in this process or when we will be submitted. We do not know when we will get a court date. We do not know how many court dates they will have the rest of the year. We do not know for sure that we will get to travel this year.

Some things we do know…. We know that last week and this week the Korean Court system is on break. They completely shut down for 2 whole weeks. So we suspect that the entire month of August, we will not hear any news. We do know that there are four court dates at the end of August for 2013 families. We aren’t sure how many families will be going per court date or even when those families got their referrals.

Something that we DO know. We do know that we are still waiting. Waiting on that day that we find out it is our turn. Our turn to fly to meet our son for the first time. Our turn to tell the courts that we will love and care for our baby for the rest of our lives. Our turn to bring our baby to his new, second home, and to finally be the family we have been waiting to be.

So until that time, until we get that notice that we have a court date, we really have nothing to update. So to keep our minds busy during this period of waiting, we are going to stay busy with date nights, work, our friends, our family, football season, selling our home, and moving into the home we will raise our children. So if I seem a little crazy, please understand, I am a little crazy.

So no blog is good without pictures, SO I want to share the most amazing gift I got today from 4 people that I love so dearly, and truly know what we are going through right now! I am absolutely in love with this gift!
