at last.

after 11.5 months of living in beautiful uganda.

after 11.5 months of living the unknown.

after 11 months of fostering our sweet girl. 

after being denied legal guardianship 7.5 months ago. 

after a long, process with the appeals court.

after 1 month of living apart from my sweet husband. 

after 23 nights of putting the littles to sleep by myself. 

after 13 days of knowing that my sweet girl is {officially} our daughter!!

after 1 week of wondering if we would have to move here for a few years because the wording on our ruling didn't comply with US visa standards. (we really wondered this for the past year.)

after spending 1 night {last week} wondering if moving our family to mexico was the best possible solution {more to come on that:)}.

after all this craziness...

because today we are praising God that we are coming home.

    Congrats! That's so exciting!

    It will probably be a big adjustment, but I will keep your family in my prayers!

    That's a lot of decisions, and I can't wait to hear when you're home! :)

    Blessings,
