I would like to begin with a financial update. Many of you have been so generous with us and we thank you from the absolute bottom of our hearts. We've shed many tears of thanks for the support we've received verbally and financially. God has blessed us in ways we never dreamed. At this point, we have $2,900 left to pay in legal fees and around $10,000 to pay in travel fees. (Just as a reminder both Daniel and I will be making two trips to and from Ethiopia. First to stand before the courts. Second, for an embassy appointment and to bring our little girl home. My voice raises about 3 octaves every time I say "bringing her home" lol.) Needless to say, we are SO thrilled to say that our $30,000 has dropped to $12,900!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I'm still in the process of reading up on hair and skin care. It's been a real eye opener! First off, I realized that all these years I've been misusing the word "nappy". I now know that the word will never apply to my hair. The actual definition is "tightly coiled hair in it's natural state with no chemical alterations". On that note I just have to add the sentence it was used in in the urban dictionary. "She is so brave to wear her nappy hair, unlike all those girls with jacked-up weave." I found that hilarious for some reason. Anyway, I'm super excited and also super scared to try out all I've learned.
Speaking of super excited and also super scared, I must say, my heart is taking a beating. I don't say "beating" in a necessarily bad way, I just mean the whirlpool of feeling 3 emotions extremely, all at one time, is insane. My poor pregnant heart!
