January 12, 2010....

I am sitting here tonight reflecting on the past 2.5 weeks. Beginning with the call from Dad Deeter on January 12 sharing with us the devastating news of the earthquake in Haiti.
For all of us in this house we will remember that day like many people remember when Kennedy was shot and when the Twin Towers came down. For me, I knew instantly it was bad but never in my wildest dreams did I fathom HOW bad. All in an instant we had to learn to be present for our children here all while being completely terrified for our children there. Within 2 hours we were witness to God's first miracle for us in what has been 2.5 weeks of miracles! We learned our children and all the children of HIS Home were ok! SO many families didn't hear word of their loved ones for days and we were blessed to know within a few hours!
As dawn broke and the images of the devastation began pouring in, Clay and I knew, even though we didn't dare utter it to one another, that this could possibly be the way our girls would finally come home!

It's been a long time.........

Hey y'all! I know everyone is asking me to write a blog....and here's the secret...I started one long ago but never kept it up. After the past 2 weeks of craziness, I do believe now is the best time to start over!

So hang on cuz I am preparing to take you on a ride with us. You will be tired of hearing from me...writing is the best way for me to work out things in my mind. I am probably going to be blatantly honest and I hope you will still love and support us through the muck and mud. It's going to be a sweet adventure but with all adventures there will be bumps in the road.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, listened to me cry, encouraged me, slapped me around when I needed it and just supported our family!!!

I'll be posting soon. I PROMISE!
