A little adoption news: we are now the FirST couple on the list waiting for a baby! Before you get too excited, we were no. 3 in January so it's taken nine months to move two places.
I started this blog as a way to update (and let's me honest, vent) during the long and trying process to adopt our Cassie from Mexico. Now we live on an island called Batam in Indonesia. So the Daughter Journey has shifted from what it took to get Cassie home to what it's going to take to survive as a family of four Texans in Asia. Here Mike works six days a week, ten hour days. So it's up to me, and I've never been less prepared for anything. But I'm game!

Heading back to the dark
I think tomorrow we will move back to Beaumont. We don't yet have power. The mandatory evacuation has been lifted so hopefully school will start up again around Sept 30. I'd REALLY like to have electricity by then! Entergy says 100% power restoration on Oct 6. I will miss air conditioning but I miss hubby more. I visited home for a few days last week. It's hot and there are mosquitoes everywhere, but I definitely need to be there right now. We have a debris pile by our street over ten feet high! And we're not done! I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to post again. I can check email though and have really appreciated all the sweet messages.
