Milkshake

Even though I haven't started back to work yet, I have officially been hired back and so I am an employee. As such, my boss called the other day to tell me that I could come in and bring whomever I wanted to the employee sale days!! Mum and Dad will need little gifts to take with them to China for all of the people who will help them during the final stages of this adoption process. Because YC is made in the US, it makes for the perfect gift to give! 

While we were out, I stopped to get milkshakes at Steak N Shake. I had a buy one get one free coupon and wanted to treat my Mum, as she is always going above and beyond for everyone, both in my family and outside of it! She got a Caramel Apple Milkshake and I got a S'mores! 

THEY WERE SO GOOD! 

As much as there are days when I {already} get homesick for China and all of that life,

I have really been enjoying the little blessings of being able to talk to my family whenever

and about whatever. Not only talk, but spend time with, do nothing with {There has been a lot of 'Chuck', 'Star Trek Voyager', 'Call the Midwife' and 'Burn Notice' being watched!!} and

make plans for more exciting things. {Its also really great to finally be on this side of the adoption stuff and get to find things out the same time, in the same way as everyone else in the house!} 

Today was a good 'Mom' day! We talked a bunch and I got to hang out with her when we 

took the trip to get the candles. I may be 31, but a girl still needs her Mum!
