"Nothing can explain this adventure—lets say a quirk of fortune steered us together—we made our covenants, began this odyssey of ours, by hunch and guess work, a blind date where foolish love consented in advance. . . Gratuitous, beyond our fathoming, both binding and freeing, this love re-invades us, shifts the boundaries of our being." ~ from Out of the Blue by Michael O’ SiadhailI read the above quote in the comment section on another blog a few months ago. Thanks for having such well-read, insightful friends, Susan B-T!
I have been thinking about this quote all day today - as I went to pick up a piece of luggage and some clothes for the trip. There is this feeling of preparing for one of the most significant meetings of my lifetime - Scott, then Luca and now "Saskia". It is indescribable. It makes my heart flutter and tears come to my eyes.

That is an amazing quote...and so true. It is a very very overwhelming feeling. As I have been calling-the best blind date ever. :)
Holy cow - HOORAY! I can't even begin to imagine how excited you are. I love that Luca is willing to pose with the pink shirt.
Hi, I can't remember if we've emailed each other. I returned a couple of months ago with WPA from Petro from where found my beautiful son, Griffin. I think I saw on Alyssa's blog that your booking tickets. How exciting! I guess I've been a quiet lurker on your blog, and wanted to take a moment to wish you all of the best during this exciting time. I look forward to cheering you on as you meet your daughter. Kindest regards, Susan
Indescribable says it all!
