To be honest I don't even know where to start since I have so many different things going around in my head right now so I'm just going to do a quick update.
Today was the big day, at 8:30 this morning my attendant and driver met my family and I outside of our hotel and took us to get my son. The pick up lasted about an hour and it couldn't have gone any better. God promises he will take care of us but doesn't promise it will be easy so I admit I was very nervous about how things would go, I should know by now to stop worrying about things in his hands. His foster mother did excellent, I know she was very sad to see him leave but she held it all in because it was best Hristiyan. And Hristiyan was AMAZING!!!!! I am in awe of the strength my child has and feel such pain when I think of how often he's had to test it. He cried for a short while in the car but he really couldn't have done better. The car ride went really well, the road was a rough in some areas and he got a little shook up by it but it was an excellent opportunity for him to get to depend on momma for support which of course I was super happy to give.
When we got back in town we had to get passport and visa medical pictures and then finally we could head back to the hotel. By the time we made it back we were starving so after a quick baggage drop off we went to catch a bite, Again Hristiyan did great. He's all about eating off everyone's plates so his meal consisted of steamed veggies, cucumber salad, meatballs, cow tongue, chicken hearts and french fries, and he loved every bit of it!! lol His appetite is just like his moms :)
After dinner we came back to the hotel and spent some time alone. We vacuumed the hotel room floor with a mini-vac because he LOVES to clean, played with some toys and danced to some Bulgarian MTV. I've already learned a lesson in the craziness of raising boys too ... he had stripped down to his underwear before we started cleaning and at one point I turned around and he had the mini-vac shoved in his underwear trying to suck up his weewee :-/ What in the world do boys think when they do this mess!! lol
A few hours later, after their nap, Baba Cherry (my mom) & Michael came back to our room and hung out until we got ready for bed. Hristiyan wasn't super happy about his bath but he held on to for dear life and we made it out alive and clean. Luckily he loves to brush his teeth and likes to try to brush mine too. His grandparents watched him for me while I took a bath but that didn't stop him from coming to check and see where I had disappeared to, I was prepared though with towels everywhere for cover up just incase. I felt like I got an A+ for that one ;) lol So finally now he's sleeping and i'm just staring at him how can I not he's too cute.
It was a great day! God never ceases to amaze me with his blessings (or his lessons) and I'm so glad I get to give my son a chance to take a load off of his shoulders and feel the same security that I feel in the arms of my Savior. Teaching my son to depend on God is going to be my greatest honor.
Time for me to get some sleep. Be blessed! (I certainly am:)
