It's a Small World

Today I was treated to a lovely lunch with fellow blogger Joannah. It was wonderful to meet another courageous woman who is walking the same pathway. We are both teachers and share our faith and our love for our future Chinese daughters. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory (yum) and shopped at Pottery Barn Kids, Janie and Jack, and the American Girl doll store.
Sadly, I missed a call from Citizenship and Immigration about getting refingerprinted and Joannah arrived two minutes late to the Chinese consulate where she was picking up all her papers and they closed. Aaah, such is life.
Now here is my VERY small world story.
I recently emailed Heather from SAC (single adopt china) who posted that she was in my state. I told her where I was and got an email back that she was in my town. We met for coffee and it turns out that we live in the same housing complex!! She was just beginning her paperchase but found a waiting child and will be going to China soon. She and Joannah are both naming their daughters Jillian. Tonight I am meeting with her to watch a video from her daughter's province that she got from Research China. I am also going to see her new nursery furniture, yea!
