Thank You Rebecca

Our CCAI Oct Tea Monkey group has had secret pals for the past 3 months. I have had so much fun spoiling a new friend Andrea W. and getting to know her. I am sure we will continue to stay in touch during the rest of our wait and also after we bring our children home.

During this time I have also been spoiled. My secret pal has finally revealed herself and it is Rebecca! Rebecca and I also "know" each other from our LBRTB group. She has been so inspiring to me during my wait. She has showered me with e-cards, encouragement and of course the gifts.

This month the final installment was as wonderful as the previous. She is always sweet to remember my boys as well. They say "Thank you for the Pop Rocks! They are AWESOME!" I will tell you thank you from myself and of course Diana. For me she got the cutest key chain. It has polka dots, my name and a ladybug! It is already on my keys and I smile every time I see it and think of you!!! Oh yeah make sure to check out the cute chocolate bugs. So far I have indulged in one and all I can say is YUMMMMMM!

For our sweet Diana she got the cutest flower garden toy! The flowers light up and play music. It is sooo sweet! I can already picture the boys playing with it with Diana. I can't wait! Also she got her a Chinese lullaby CD. I can't wait to rock Diana to sleep while it is playing in the background!

Rebecca-Thank you soooo much for all you have done these past three months for me. I have enjoyed getting to know you better and feel we have formed a lifelong friendship! You truly have been the best secret pal there is!

March Cyber Shower

Our ladybug group had another cyber shower this month. Pam had me and boy did she spoil me and my family. Anyway on to the gifts. For my boys she got them each a Spider Man tablet with pencils and a tootsie roll. They say thank you and haven't stopped using them since they opened them up an hour ago. For me she got me a journal, a bookmark, a magnet and the cutest pair of ladybug socks. (My sister is the queen of fun socks so she will be jealous.) Also there was a beautiful smelling sachet and a small box filled with chocolates for me and hubby. She got Diana the sweetest ladybug pajamas and "Baby's First Book of Prayers" book. As Pam knows my faith is very important to me and will of course be passed on to Diana. I can't wait until Diana is here to wear those pj's and read her the prayers! Thank you soooooo much Pam! Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated!

My Thoughtful Husband

I know I am married to the best guy there is! I compare my husband to some of my other friend's husbands and I have to say I win hands down. Anyway he was away this past week for business. This was the first time in ten years we have been away from each other for that long. It really was a long week. The boys really missed their Daddy. I missed him too!

Anyway I will share what he did for me. Like I just mentioned we have been together for 10 years. The Wednesday he was gone was the 1oth anniversary of our very first date. This is a special date that we always celebrate so it was sad that we wouldn't be together. My wonderful husband sent me a beautiful arrangement of pink roses! The card was even better though! It read "Happy Anniversary! The World and Then Some! Love, Dave" What makes that so special is that is what he said all the time in the beginning of our relationship. Its been a long time since I've read that or heard that. Really made me smile.

Also while he was gone he got the boys gifts and some stuff for me. The best thing though was that he thought of Diana. He told me one night that he got something for Diana's room. He doesn't usually talk about her or he will roll his eyes when I buy things for her. This was truly him thinking of her. You will see its her name in Chinese and in English. We will have it framed and it will go in her room. He really is the best. Here's to another ten years!
