I cebrated my 45 July 24th......

I am just now getting my photos on from my birthday. I ended up having a wonderful day. I was a little down about turning 45 since I was pretty sure I would have Mylie before I actually turned 45, but I ended up being 45 before she got here. I really hope and pray we get her before my 46th birthday.
All in all I had a wonderful birthday just the same. Holly and Wendy took me to Six Flags early and we rode a few rides and then headed back around lunch time to meet Lacy at Rice and Noodle a new Thai place Mike found. After having a really nice lunch with all three of my daughters we went to the mall and I got my ears double pierced. Holly treated me to this. I have wanted to be able to wear two earrings for a while now. My new studs are Rubies since I had it done on my birthday. At home later we had nice dinner and Holly had made me a Ladybug Birthday Cake. It was so cute and very creative we almost hated to cut into it.
I got tons of cards from my new buddies which I have made through our Agency while waiting for Mylie. They are some really wonderful ladies and I'm proud to call them friends. Sherry, I love the card and I didn't want you to think I left you out purposely. I had already taken the photo of all of the stuff before I got it. It is very cute with a button for a ladybug on it. I want to thank all of them for making my day a bright one.
My "Secret Pal",Susan, is one of these ladies and she sent me some of my favorite wine "Ladybug Wine", and some of the prettiest earrings I've seen. As you can see in one of the photos above; Wendy and I are dancing to the card she sent it plays "I'm Walking on Sunshine". Just the way I felt that day.
My family gave me some wonderful gifts as well. I truly had a wonderful day.

I knew I loved the color "BLUE"

You Are A Blue Girl

Relationships and feelings are the most important things to you. You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict. If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well. You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart.

What Color Girl Are You?

I just love taking these quizzes!!!

This Is Where I Belong

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city soul with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

What
City Do You Belong In?


I took this quiz and found that I belong in Rome. Funny how I would be given Rome as my answer; I have never been there in my life, but have had friends that have traveled there and just loved it. By listening and reading many of there stories I really do think I would love to be there. When I traveled to Europe about 7 years ago my favorite places were Austria, Switzerland (Lungern), and Germany (Fesson, Neutcheunstine(sp) Hiedelburg); very picturesque, clean, and surreal . I did enjoy London, but I could do without the City of Paris. I loved the French country sides though. What a trip I would do it all again if I could. Like I said maybe someday.......

July 26th 07' The Day We Left the Review Room!!

Well, all of my girlfriends have been after me to get my act together and post this already. I really meant to, but so much has been happening all at once.
My 45th birthday was on Tuesday the 24th, and then Mike went for an interview in Amarillo on Thursday. His flight got delayed and he didn't get home until midnight. I was up but not on the computer; so I missed out on some really BIG news. Patti tried to call me and let me in on it, but nooooo the phone was unpluged due to certain reasons. I found out the next morning by getting on my computer... I had 68 messages and counting. I thought to myself something big is happening... maybe we are out of Review. Well, I had guessed it!!!! It took 21 days (15 business days) from the day we entered Review from Pending Review to now enter the line for the Matching Room. It is a long line, but there is finally hope! We are so thrilled we don't know what to do. Finally, some hope that we may be able to travel by May 08' if not sooner. We are all hoping to get our Referrals by March 08'.
We all toasted at or around 7:00 pm to our being out of the Review Room, where we know that China had in their hands on all of our paper work and photos, and didn't reject us.This is so exciting that we have all been favored to be parents again for some of us and for the first time for many.

Congratulations to my China Adoption Sisters....we will be getting our daughters before we know it.

Lots of cool things going on within such a short time. For me to be feeling sorry for myself about turning 45, but with all of this action going on I haven't been even worried about it.

Today we are celebrating Mike's mother's birthday as well as mine, the fact of being out of the Review Room, that Lacy has passed a course, and that Mike has been offered a new job. Lots going on in the Lambert household this summer.

So even though this may say July 28th 07' it is really about the 26th.....the day we left the Review Room!!!!
