The Gals - after demolishing the food!
Shauna, Shannon and Ricki

This weekend was much needed - I needed to laugh, cry, and yell with some people who truly understand how I am feeling. I need people to tell me that it is o.k. to be feeling the feelings I have. They don't try to gloss it over with the standard answer "don't worry so much, everything will be fine". There are days when it doesn't feel fine - days when I feel sad - days when all I want to do is cry! They understand - they have been there and they are there to support me thru those days.
Thanks to all the girls who I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with - there are many more I have yet to meet - Hazel, Cinnamon, Ramona, Carolyn, Shelley, Kristen, Sebrina, Danielle, Jody, Tracy, Sheri, Julie, and many others...without the knowledge that you are all standing behind me in this - well - it would be a lot harder.
Cheers to you all!

I am so glad you guys had such a good get-together! It sounds like just what everybody needed! It's great to have such good friends who understand the ups and downs of this process... and good food to share while you vent about it!
Thanks you nutty gal for the great weekend! I'm so glad I don't have to put on my "I'm so happy forever" face around you girls and I can let my "true" feelings shine about this adoption and let it all hang out!!
I hope to be sending you some pictures very very soon.
Hugs,
Rhonda
It looks like it was a fun wkd! Wish I lived closer, but maybe we'll meet in Ethio! We got together with many of our support group this past wkd to celebrate that one family leaves tomorrow to bring home their boy. It's so wonderful to be in a supportive understanding place!

Looks like a fun time you ladies had!! I TOTALLY know how you are feeling and there is nothing like having a few good friends to share all of the 'ups' with and who don't judge you when you are feeling crappier than road kill. YAY for good friends and YAY for good Ethiopian food! I hope it was a nice little re-charge to keep you going until referral time!!! (which HAS to be soon).
