Happy 100th Birthday, Grandpa!

Today was such a bittersweet day...I missed mi Corazon, Reyes and the kids so much! My brother and his family and I have travelled to Indiana for my grandpa's 100th birthday. As a result of the many delays in our adoption process, I have been unable to travel to Indiana since 2009. I had so hoped that the children would be here for this special event and family reunion. I had not seen some family members since my mother's funeral in 1999. There were so many children the same ages of ours. Though I have seen pictures on facebook, I had not met many of my cousin's children. Being a military kid puts a huge strain on family relations. It was wonderful to honor my grandpa today...for me, it was a last minute decision to come here. Per our attorney, we received our assignment a little over two weeks ago, May 25th; however, we have not received a travel date (they have 18 days to give us a date). With our first travel date imminent, it was determined that Reyes stay home and work/take care of the dog. Please continue to pray for our family to be together again soon!
