We are here in San Diego.  Where it is suppose to warm and and balmy.  Yesterday (the day we had planned to go the wild animal park) it decided to give us winds (20 mph), rain (lots of rain) and cool weather (40’s).  Really.  I flew from the midwest to enjoy the sun…I didn’t see the sun yesterday until about 5:30 pm yesterday.  It was beautiful when the sun decided to poke itself out…

We met Hayat and her family last night briefly.  She is a doll and just as cute as can be.  Her parents are pretty awesome too, as is her big sister.  It was nice to finally meet–even though I feel like I knew them already.  We are going to meet the other families today.  The kids were awesomely cute together

I now know for sure that I will not be getting a referral until after our agency’s director returns from Ethiopia.  It is really refreshing and freeing to know that.  I can now relax and enjoy Wannafest.  I am so excited about it.  I am packed and like a little kid–pretty much sitting by the front door just waiting for time to pass so I can get on the plane. I am trying not to think about the 4 hours in confined quarters with a toddler who doesn’t know how to sit/stand/be still.  I think I just might poke myself in the eyes with a sharp stick.  Maybe not–because then how would I see the other lovely little toddlers that didn’t drive their parents crazy–because I know they are perfect!

Well…I will try to post a picture or two from our trip–as long as parents don’t mind (as all of their blogs are private sans one).  I will certainly post the obituary of whomever doesn’t make it through the flight–me, hubby, Minnow or the poor people sitting near us…

I am off to bask in the sun…I plan on wearing nothing on my feet except flip flops for the next 5 days.
