tonight i got together with some girlfriends... i always think of them as my em's (ethiopian moms)... we met for dinner in georgetown
and then headed over to..
... for some yummy treats. it pretty funny at dinner when the waiter asked if we wanted dessert and we unanimously said "no'. :)
to be honest i have never seen dc cupcakes, but one of the girls pointed out the owners of the shop, who apparently are not there very often. of course we snapped some picts!
my brother also walked down and met us there too!
it is sweet to be able to meet with these ladies who know right away how you are feeling and you can just be honest about it all. as soon as i saw them they asked how i was feeling about being the (unofficial) #1!! it warmed my heart how excited they were, REALLY knowing what it means to be soo close!
we talked nonstop for three hours about all things adoption!! i was also able to see pictures of a precious little girl and an older boy that will meet their parents in less than a month! i heard about a project one of the families has been working on with a ministry called both hands, and we talked and shared and squealed and laughed about what is currently going on, about what our next steps will be like and what we are nervous about... and we all just got so excited thinking about what our families will look like next year!!
there is a sweet bond we all have because we are adopting... these ladies are such a blessing!
how fun!!! it is so refreshing to be with others that are walking that same path and really *get* it. so glad you've found such a great group!
