Signs

Stella Sabrina shining!

Sabrina on bonding day 1

I just had to post these pictures...I can talk all day long about how my Stella shines. But when I look at her pictures of the first bonding day back in June...I can hardly believe it's the same child. I met Sabrina and knew immediately that she was "there" but it took me a good day after talking to so many of you...that I needed to give her a chance to shine. She is my Stella and boy does she shine!

If you read my posts from Looking for Sam, you know that I believe in signs and all sorts of kookiness ! In the end I know it is because the big Guy upstairs had these plans for me all along but for me it's entertaining and interesting. Sometimes it is motivating and makes me feel as if I am on the right path. I wonder about all the signs I had for the little guy. What did those mean? Did someone know me so well that they had to use the little guy to get me to Kaz in order for me to meet Stella? Maybe? I am stubborn and I was on course to meet a little boy.

Want to hear my latest signs? Way back, a psychic had told me that the little guy would be called "little sunshine" Stella means "star" which is a little sunshine. When I chose the name for her, I didn't know that. The other day for my blog I chose a song called "shine on", I had never heard it before then...it just seemed to fit for Stella. I was in a Claire's accessory store and while in there I heard "shine on". The tv was in the living room on Friday and the announcer was talking about something and said 'shine on". Last night I was watching a movie, I think the movie with Helen Hunt about tornadoes and on the ending credits they played a different song with the chorus....shine on!!

I can't wait to see Miss Stella, my lucky star, to see what surprises she has in store for me. I don't know if I will get to see her other then after court. WHEN...I get my big YES!!! Praying for a big YES!! I think it depends on the Chief doctor and she is by the book so maybe not. I will be leaving for Kaz on the 11th and arrive there on the 13th, court on the 17th, home on the 18th. I have packed clothes for Stella and things that I think I will need on the last trip. My interpreter has been gracious enough to let me leave things there for the remaining two trips.

I am going the apartment route again...I saved so much money even though it is not the most luxurious way to go. I spent over $4,000 on the first trip, (the trip that didn't count) and a lot of that cost was the $150 a night hotel and the team fee. Ouch! This apartment is only on the 3rd floor but it doesn't have A/C. It looks like it's in the high 80's and 50's and 60's at night so it shouldn't be as bad as that HOT week on my 2nd trip. That was HOT!! Cost per night is about $41 US a night. I can do anything for a week...right??

Wish me luck! Paka for now.......
