In six days, we will have been LID for 29 months. There are currently 251 LID days in front of ours (11/14/06). I have no idea if we are even half way there. When I'm feeling hopeful, I think maybe. But when I think about how slowly we are getting there, my heart breaks. I have so much to be thankful for and I need to focus on what is here. The twins graduate from 8th grade next month. Tyler comes home from college in early May. We have a trip abroad and family vacations planned for this summer. We have high school and freshman football to look forward to next fall. I want to redecorate the boys rooms, and do some more outside activities. I want to be present for all of it and I need to take a break from this.
I so want to be excited again. I have endless love in my heart for Lilly. I'm holding onto hope and my faith. My prayers will continue......

Hope your break went well. Haven't been on in months and have switched over to facebook. I always think of you and your family.
I hear you. Someday we'll hopefully get all excited again like we were that first year of waiting. It's hard to even talk about now, not knowing what year we're even talking about. Enjoy your break.
Enjoy your break, Ashley. We all need a little away time from this crazy wait. Of course, the love doesn't go away or lessen, but the strain does ease a little. At least it has in our house.
It sounds like you have a wonderful summer planned. Have a great time with your family!
Some time in the future we will be getting all excited again and planning secret pal exchanges and getting everything ready for our precious baby girls!
