We Like Ike!

So I have had people ask me the details of the day I found out about sweet little Ike....

Monday I was talking to our case worker from our adoption agency and I was of course doing a million things at once and talking on my sweet super tooth.   I felt really weird about our conversation when I hung up, so I was kinda freaking out thinking "what have I said",  "did I act like I wasn't 100% into this adoption".  I tend to make semi inappropriate jokes when I'm nervous or thinking of other things.  So, when I got back to my computer I wrote her an email telling her that I thought our conversation was odd and asking her to call me on Tuesday.

So now it's Tuesday.... I'm at my office trying to get about 20 hours of work done in one day, because Monday I went to my uncles funeral and I have to be gone all the rest of the week.  My sweet case workers calls, but I'm not by my cell phone.  The my Corbin Realty office calls me saying she has called on my voice mail and to call her in the next 15 minutes.  

I call her and she says that if she was being "weird" it was because she has a referral for me!  I started crying.  She is so compassionate and deliberate with her words.  I felt like it took hours for her to tell me about him, because I think and talk so much faster than the average person.  I probably missed half of what she was saying because all I could think of was calling  Luke.

She sent me his information and then I forwarded it to Luke.  It took Luke's email the longest 4 minutes to load the email.  He was dying on the other end.  

I just left work because I knew I wasn't going to get anything done.  Luke had to give a 3 hour presentation that same day so he had to stay and talked about FHA all afternoon.  

I have tried to call everyone, but I can think of a few people I haven't called.

Thank you to all of you who have been so sweet and given us your blessings.  We are very excited and cannot wait to bring little Ike home!!!!!
