This waiting for a court date has seemed slower than the slowest day waiting for our referral...isn't it funny how that happens! I am still just so jumpy each time my cell rings or if I hear the chime telling me I have an email...I want any and all information I can get. I actually called Gladney and left the most awkward message ever asking if they can give me any information about court, even though I know they don't have any and if they could please just call me so I can hear something about how everyone is going through court...I felt so pathetic...but I just need something! Ugh!
So...here are a list of five things I am going to accomplish this week to keep me busy and hopefully make the waiting go a bit quicker:
1. Work on the girls' quilts
2. Put together the little care package for our little one...anyone traveling in November who would like to take it over to her???
3. Working on Blakeley's Halloween costume...little red riding hood
4. Going to the Redbull Soap Box Race in Denver
5. Getting ready for our pumpkin carving party on Friday.
Whew...hopefully that will keep my busy...any other suggestions???

I agree, the wait for our court date was hard! Your call is coming any day now!! Hang in there. And God willing, we are traveling in November, and we would be honored to take a care package over for your little one! Just let me know.
I think you are right....waiting for the court date is way harder. It will come soon. I know the feeling of constantly checking e-mail or looking for phone messages. UGH. I remember it so clearly. Hang in there.
Have you heard about any of hte changes with MOWA through your agency. It is holding our court date up too...just wondersing what your agency is telling you about the new "rules".
When should you know the court date? Diana
We are in the same boat - referral in September and waiting a court date. I've followed your blog for a while....I've ordered a necklace from your mom and she's ordered a few Africa t-shirts from us (I think for your husband!). Best wishes for a speedy court date assignment!
we're going to the soapbox race too.. maybe we'll see you there! bring a pic of your little girl just in case!
We waited 7 months after our referral for sam to come home, it was brutal. I have you guys on my mind often and am praying for you.
Each wait gets a little harder doesn't it. Hang in there!!!!
