Boomer Sooner and fun with friends!

It was a happy day in the Goza household the night of the Sugar Bowl…OU beat Alabama, so Anna was very pleased.  Actually, she didn't really care much about the game, but she did sit for quite some time with David and her brothers on the couch…which is a very rare occurrence!  

 
She totally adores her daddy!



It has been so much fun to have a new friend at church - our dear friends brought their daughter home on October 31st, and we know that Sarah Jane and Anna will be great friends!  It is so much fun to have Sarah Jane around and see her with her new family.  Sarah Jane was very thoughtful and brought home several cute dresses for Anna from China, so Sarah Jane's mom and I will continue to attempt to get pictures of the girls together.  M&Ms were a great enticement to distract the girls.




As I type this, one of my dear friends, Sarah, is on her way to China to bring home her daughter.  Sarah and I were roommates in college, and we have talked for years about adoption.  Sarah's daughter is in the same orphanage where Anna was and is approximately the same age as Anna…what are the odds of that?  Sarah has 4 boys and is now going to experience the joys of having a little girl, too!  If anyone wants to follow her journey, here is her blog:  http://trostadventures.blogspot.com
I have found that it is so much more fun to share in the joy of a friend traveling to adopt than the actual process of doing it…I was so thankful to get to travel with my mom to get Anna, but whew!  It is WAY more fun to have already been through the process and rejoice with others as they travel!
