Woooooo Pig Sooey

Well, it's a glorious day in Razorback nation. All those Sooners and Boilermakers and whoever else is out there, get ready, by the time we get back from China, you'll be wearing Hog noses and calling the Hogs. It is said that Hog fans are the only people who can hold the Razorback in reverence while eating a pork sandwich. Believe me, I have tested this theory many times over and found it to be true.

I haven't had alot of time to add anything to the blog recently, been pretty busy with this minor thing called adoption. Oh yeah, I've been working. And maybe doin' a little bit of hunting. Just a little. But, my Aunt Becky in them little hills (the Rockies I think) yelled at me and called me stupid for not posting something. Well, sometimes you just run out of material, Beck. By the way, any of you heading west, stop by the Harrison Cafe and get spaghetti and fried taters. Sounds terrible only until you put them in your mouth. Then you wonder why your plate can't be bigger so you don't have to get up to get more.

We have had a bummer of a week with adoption stuff. The Memphis immigration office and I are not on good speaking terms right now. They do not seem to understand that I think I rule the world and deserve excellent service. So, I am adjusting accordingly. I know with trials and tribulations come endurance and proven character. But, after my little tirade, I've proven that my character was not very endearing. With the Lord's mighty hand, however, I believe that we will have our I171 form in our hands in time to go with our group. If we don't, I have purchased over sized luggage for Chelle and I to stow away in. Also, we have started work on our visas, not the credit cards, the stamps on your passports. Travel arrangements are following in a couple of weeks, we are quite excited.

Our friends the Pitchfords have returned from China with their handsome little boy, Joshua. This is a cool family. From Arkansas, with family in California, a little boy from China, and living in Albania as missionaries. They are touching all parts of the world and influencing many for the sake of His name. I thank the Lord for you, Charley and Marianne and Joshua.

Hang in there guys. Understand your frustration with the paperwork process, as your good "federal employee" friend. :)

She's so cute. She and I have the same haircut! Short & spikey.

Can't wait to see you guys.

Well, I always told my kids that when you squeeze a lemon, you get whatever is inside it... Sometimes we get squeezed by these trying circumstances and just have to wait on God to act while hoping that "lemonade and CHRIST" :) are what pour out of us for others to see and taste! YUM!!!

Hang in there youngin'! Good things come to those who wait.... Yeah!!!

Love,
Pat
