I LOVE SURPRISES...

Good Ones, that is.

We've been waiting for a call from our agency. We were hoping for that call to come this week. We were also hoping for the call to bring news of a court date in late July, as that seems to be the usual time frame.

Well, we did get the call yesterday. And we did get a court date. But the big surprise was that our court date was YESTERDAY!!!!! YES.TER.DAY, as in June 26th. Are you kidding me??? Poor Kiersten on the other end, I totally yelled into the phone. I was so googly-moogly, I forgot to even ask how this even happened. I'm going to call this a "good surprise". So very good. While this is so exciting, I feel a little bit like a cutter in line. Or maybe more accurately like we got the Fast Pass at DisneyWorld. I don't feel guilty, I just feel like I like the "line" I'm in.

With my pregnancies, I always wished for a scenario in which I go in for one of the last check ups and have my OB say "Wow, this is incredible! You are already 7 centimeters dilated! Let's admit you to the hospital because you are having this baby." That's kind of how it feels now.

Of course, we do not know the outcome of our court case. We are praying and hoping that we passed. I am trying to guard my heart, but it is so stinkin' hard! We won't hear anything until next week. If we did pass, Kiersten may choose to wear earplugs before she calls this time.

In any case, we better get this name thing figured out huh? Whatever her first name will be, I am hoping right now that her last name is Kollar.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine be glory!
(from Ephesians 3:20,21)
