Happy Birthday David

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe your gone

(Chorus:)It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blueI feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hopeIs
I know, I'll see you again someday

(Lyrics to Kenny Chesney's song "Who You'd Be Today")

I pray you are finally able to do all the things 4-year old boys should... getting dirty, laughing until you can hardly breathe, smiling until you cheeks hurt...

We love you, little boy!

Nov 16th also happens to be our 9th wedding anniversary. I think it's going to be so cool to be able to say we were in Hong Kong on our 9th wedding anniversary! However, it's not so cool for Clyde. Why? Because it's the 36 hour wedding anniversary! For most guys, their anniversary lasts 24 hours. 24 hours of "yes, dear" and "would you like more wine" and "I bought these flowers for you" and "let's cuddle." For Clyde, he has 36 hours of "Princess Bonnie" to endure.

Bwahaaa Haaa haaaaa (evil laugh)

IT WORKED!

IT WORKED!!!



I can hardly believe it actually worked!

So all you people who need new $100 bills for your adoption do this:

Tell your bank to call the Federal Reserve at 877-553-9735. The Federal Reserve will explain to your bank how the bank can write a letter explaining that they need however many new $100 bills for INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION and the FR will honor their request.

My bank did it, and it worked beautifully! I'm now the proud owner of 50 brand new, uncirculated $100 bills.

So there you go! Problem solved.

Notice of Coming To China AKA: travel approval

This is what happens when one-half of the marriage team is computer savvy, and the other is not. Maybe Clyde will learn how to post pictures and then he'll post hideous ones of me? That would not be good. (Not that I'm hideous or anything, imho)

So this is a picture from our celebratory "Getting a Consulate Date" dinner. I'm glad we weren't supposed to be taking pictures for our dossier!
