Thanksgiving

It's the night before Thanksgiving and as I started to head off to bed to get some rest for our big day tomorrow - it hit me that blogging has slipped my mind for a while.  We have so much to be thankful for, so I will just name a few...we are so blessed with 4 amazing children who do have their moments, but are never the less our wonderful treasures from the Lord.  We have all of our family in town as of Monday (2 days ago) when my brother moved back.  All 28 of us got together tonight for dinner - so nice!!   We are able to homeschool and travel - 2 of my favorite things.  The business is doing great blessing us and so many others as well.  Our life group is awesome and running strong with support.  The best part is -  we are leaving in 16 days to finally meet our son!    God can really out do himself with blessings.  We can never out give Him. 
I'm getting nervous, yet excited as the time draws nearer.  Sometimes I find myself questioning God's choice for us to be Dimitar's parents.  I mean - we have 4 healthy children, Bulgaria is quite a ways away from Florida and flying is far from my favorite - oh yeah and the 5 hour drive doesn't sound too thrilling for this motion sickness prone girl either.... we don't know his language, what if he doesn't even like us?, what if he does - then we leave after a week and when we are finally able to see him again to bring him home - he doesn't want to go because we already disappeared on him once?  I have so many questions for God, but I do know that the fear part is the evil one sneaking ideas into my head...right?
