Not so much. I haven't heard from the agency yet to find out if our application was even approved. I'm trying not to worry about it, but I can't help it.
I just keep thinking...what if we're not approved? What do we do now? We don't have a Plan B. This is Plan B. At least for now this is Plan B.
Stop. Breathe. Okay.
I know logically there isn't a reason why we wouldn't be approved, but my brain works on a scale from pessimist to optimist. Is it the same as "hope for the best, expect the worst"?
Anyway, I went to Atlanta, GA last week and oh my was it hot and humid. I washed my hair and it took all day for it to dry. Michael and I walked through Centennial Park one hot Wednesday afternoon. It was really beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures, but sadly I did not. They had a number of sculptures and dedications to past and present athletes. It was really touching the tribute they made to the athletes. But all I kept thinking about was how hot and humid it was...and it was only the beginning of June! I don't think I would have liked being an Olympic Athlete running a Marathon in Atlanta, GA in August. I would have perished.
While I was there I also went to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. Apparently the Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium on the East Coast. Here are some pictures.
The ginormous thing in the tank is a Whale Shark.
Just to give a perspective on how huge the tank is.
A display of the Olympic Torches at the World Of Coca-Cola.
The close-up of the Atlanta torch and the Vancouver torch.
The World of Coca-Cola was a lot of fun. Especially at the end of the tour, you can go into the "Taste of Coke" room and try all the fizzy drinks Coca-Cola distributes all over the world. My favorite one was a drink called 'Candy' and the flavor was called 'Pine Nut'. It tasted like a Pina Colada and as my friends in England would say, "It was lush."
Well that is it, have a great weekend, everyone. I will let you all know once we hear from the agency.

It makes me so nervous when answers from people like the agency take a long time. We have nothing better to do than sit around and agonize and wait and they are just going about their business. it doesn't even occur to them to get back to us ASAP! i know you will get good news soon
Today I am sending you HUGS!!!!
(what would jen do)
Every little thing about adoption takes forever. That's the worst part.
Plan B is rough.
Sending you lots of hugs. Glad you got a good taste of our lovely Georgia wet blanket humidity!
Waiting stinks! I'm definitely not a patient person by nature so all of this waiting drives me crazy too. I can't imagine that you won't be approved. Plan S is going to work for you girlie!! Praying for a quick answer. Sending lots of prayers up for you and lots of good thoughts your way.
What a lovely trip - I'm so glad you had a bit of a getaway to distract from the worrying over the agency. I really doubt that you have anything to worry about, but I'm a worrier too, so I understand where you're coming from. Keep breathing - I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.
it's NORMAL to worry, and it's NORMAL to think about Plan Z...because in an IF world, we learn very quickly that things can fall through.
BUT that being said, I am telling you NOT to...don't worry. You are doing everything you need to do to become a family, a mom and the world is going to make your wish come true.
those pictures and the story with them were so nice. I don't like humidity, but I do like you enjoying time with your hubby in a place that makes you smile.
HUGS HUGS
