Approved!

we received a very important document in the mail yesterday... our I800A forms have been approved by the government and we are officially approved by them to adopt a child (or children - we said we would be open to twins) from colombia! yay! some much needed good news after my injury and some flooding in our basement... needless to say, heath has been #1 husband lately. i'm gonna owe him big time when this is all done! :)

An Unfortunate Incident...

in case you haven't heard, i suffered an unfortunate incident at softball last week. after all my years of playing sports, my luck finally ran out and i injured myself. i was playing left centerfield for our undefeated softball team, the foul swingers. a ball was hit over my head and as i turned to run after it, i decided to try and jump while turning to my left. not a good idea! my right cleat either got stuck in the grass while the rest of my body turned or i twisted my leg as i landed...either way i was in extreme pain and knew something was wrong. after being aided off the field by several of my teammates, i sat on the bench for the rest of the game (well, i did try to bat one more time, but that didn't go so well!). after a visit to the emergency room and sports medicine doctor the diagnosis was: torn ACL and bruises and minor abrasions in the outer bone of my knee. not good! needless to say, my softball season has ended and all sports are out for approximately the next six months. boo! i meet with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow at 1:00 to find out what he has in mind regarding surgery and when it's going to take place. great way to end my summer!

on a positive note, we just got back from our round of fingerprints for immigration and that went smoothly. i guess we can be glad that our little one is not with us yet as i can't even imagine how we would be dealing with that as gimpy as i am! heath is doing a great job as my nurse and is keeping up with the housework as well. he took over for my mom after she did a great job this past weekend!

heading to the scene of the incident tonight...gotta cheer on my team in the finals!
