"Yes"

Sometimes saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.

Being a parent requires one to be selfless and make sacrifices.

Just because I might want one thing, I ultimately need to protect these babies.

They come from a hard enough background as it is. I don't need to bring them into a life that they just left. On any level.

Welcome to the waiting game. I was asked last week if my licensor had permission to submit my home study to the state as soon as he had his supervisors approval.

I said yes!!

"I said yes!" Funny how that phrase is said at this season in life. That is a phrase I though would have only been filled with such excitement and enthusiasm only after the love of my life proposed marriage (and just for the record, I am single). 

I had to literally refrain from texting all my friends "I SAID YES! to my homestudy being submitted to the state!"

So I have no idea when it was or will be submitted. So I wait.

So many thoughts through my head. Am I ready? Can I do this? What lies ahead? What daycare will I use? How do I find a day care? What if I want a weekend away or out of town or to go camping?


My life is about to change in such a beautiful way.
