Thursday seemed to be the start to a very busy last few days. We did manage to get everything accomplished that we needed to do that day. The day went pretty well, it was just a ton of stopping, unloading and loading back up in the car. Cade summed up his thoughts when we pulled in the garage that evening - "boy, this was a terrible day". I'm sure that it was awful for a 7 year old....
Friday evening we went to a Miller Football game and Terry spent the night with us. The FFA has the concession stand again this year so Jay was really busy in there Friday night.
The next morning Jay, Terry and Cade headed to Fayetteville by 8 am. I went down a little later that morning - I think I left home around 9 am. It was the first Razorback home game so Cade and I tailgated with Jay and Terry before the game. Cade and I went back to Nana and Granddad's and watched the game from there. It was a late game so Jay and Terry didn't get back until about midnight.
As soon as they pulled into Nana's driveway Jay and I loaded Cade into our car and we headed for Sheldon. Mom had won Chiefs tickets for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We finally made it to Dad's at 2:30 Sunday morning.
We left for KC about 9 Sunday morning and made it to our seats just in time for the kickoff. I had never been to a Chiefs game before so I wanted to see what it was like. Our tickets were really good. We were on the 8th row on the Cheifs side at about the 35 yard line. Jay was really excited about our location. I have always heard that Arrowhead was extremely loud and it was. I don't know if my hearing will ever be quite the same!
After the game, we headed back to Sheldon, collected Cade and headed for home. We pulled in our drive away about 7:40pm. Our little house has never looked as good as it did tonight.
Have I ever mentioned I'm not a football fan????

We were a family of three who was in the infertility/adoption cycle for almost 6 years. During that time we experienced 5 failed treatement cycles, 2 failed adoption placements and the loss of 6 adopted embryos. After officially waiting with our agency for 3 years, 8 months and 1 day we were blessed with the birth and adoption of our daughter Camryn Lee. Our adoption was a long journey, but looking back I know there is nothing I would change. God really worked on me during those years and I'm grateful for that. Every time I look at Cade and Camryn I know that God's timing was absolutely perfect!
