it's been a long time coming and man, am I ready!

In December it will have been 3 years since my son and I came here to live.

It's been an up & down journey, to say the least... not quite a movie fairytale, but I did get my beautiful princess daughter Gabriella and wouldn't trade those moments for the world!

Having her however made me even more hungry to go back to the place I once called "home".

Now finally, after lots of begging and pleading and finally getting my ten year greencard and just taking charge of the whole situation, in February we are going to Belgium.

My Mom is overjoyed, to say the least! My family I'm sure excited, and I simply can't wait... even though some part of me is scared that this trip I've been longing for since what seems like forever might just end up being a bust... but heck, for now, I'll just enjoy the fact that Belgium, watch out, here I come!

that is excellent news..good for you!!!!

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Good for you!!! I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you to not see your family and friends for so long. I live 3 1/2 hours from my "old home" and that's hard enough for me. I don't get to see my two sons nearly as much as I would like to. And my daughter has just moved away to go to university.

Have a GREAT time!!!!
