Friends are the best

Throughout this adoption process I have made so many wonderful friends.. friends who have been there for me while I sat & waitied for Rachel to finally come home. I truely coud not have done this without them, they were there for me when I was at my wits ends & absoutely DONE with this whole crappy process, they completly understood what I was going through. Makingthese friends has been a blessing, there are so many wonderful women that I have met & had it not been for Rachel & the adoption process we would have never crossed paths...

Yesterday, me Rachel & my mom went to go see Annette, Tim, Chloe, Marla & Lorraine (Annette's mom). We had a great afternoon together...Let me back track a bit.. Annette & I were in the same boat, we were stuck in PGN together & we both got caught up in the Central Authority BS... We talked several times a day, we had become.. what sholud I say? hmmm disgruntled postal employees... We were just so sick & tired of being stuck in PGN, we referred to ourselves as QB & QB2 the queen bithces.. without her I would have been in trouble.. the day beforeI got out I had a MAJOR MELTDOWN & she was there for me.. I will be forever grateful for that..

I remember the night I found out that Rachel's file was at the PGN window to be picked up (at this point I didnt know if I was OUT or KO'd) I called her house & Tim answered.. I heard annette in the background saying.. Is she happy or sad? After the nigjht before she probalby didnt want to talk to me if I was upset..

Back to our visit... Lets just say, I cant wait to get together again.. we had such a great afternoon of relaxing, eating & catching up. The girls played & they were way too cute. I was lucky enough to hear Chloe play the piano, she plays beautifully, thank you so much, we really enjoyed hearing you play. We sat around & talked all afternoon. Tim was making Rachel laugh & laugh.. Marla was sleeping at the time, we knew that wasnt happening for Rachel.. it was a perfect visit.. here are some pics of our day.. go ahead Annette you can steal them...
