faith and tropical locations

Bunches and bunches of things have happened lately.  But sadly I am way to tired to catch you up on everything.

So in a nut shell:  the kids will be coming home to stay right before easter.  This is just as there spring break begins so it will give us all time to adjust before they have to start school at a new school.    

The kids had their first visit to our house this past weekend.  They spent two nights with us.  There were good times, bad times, melt downs, and times that melted all of our hearts.  I had a bit of a panic attack when the enormity of this situation hit me- I mean I already knew it but something about the kids being here made all the difference.  Luckily I am blessed with an amazing mother and lately a lot of faith.  

Its funny but i thought i had faith before the adoption started but i had no idea.  This process has tested my faith and proven to me over and over again that there is a reason to have faith.  Interesting how the Universe works.    I asked to be given a path and for clear signs.  "Let me do your will- let me make a positive difference!"  Oh boy, do i need to watch what i ask for from now on!  I can almost hear the cackles from the cosmos.  I asked for it.  Silly, silly, little mortal.  

I have been story boarding a project for school, which has been a lot of fun, and we are going to shoot it this coming weekend.  We are going up to Eaves Ranch which is an old western town- it should be a lot of fun if the weather holds.  Only in NM can it be nearly 70 one day and snowing the next.  I stepped out the door this morning an commented on how lovely it was, i was quickly informed that yes it was lovely but that we should be getting another winter storm in the next few days.  My thoughts were- something that shouldn't be written.  Didn't we just have snow yesterday??? why do we need more???  Oh well i should stop being surprised by the weird weather here!  

I got my passport the other day!  now i can travel to other countries whenever i want- well whenever i have money to do so!  very exciting.  The itching in my feet is begging me to take a trip soon- or maybe move.  I am voting for the trip.   I love NM and cannot imagine leaving it (for now at least).  It is truly a land of enchantment- or entrapment as some folks call it.  

I am ok with both when it comes to NM it has taken part of my heart.  Although the rest of my heart rests in a warm tropical location.
