Bomb Scare

Okay, here's the rest of the story! I did forget to mention yesterday that Jeremy and I went horseback riding in Gatlinburg, and Jeremy went in one of those indoor skydiving wind tunnel things. He had a blast! The horseback riding was lots of fun too. Anyway, onto Wednesday at court. I was very nervous about court. Although it was only supposed to be a short hearing , it was the first time we had done anything like this. To add to the tension, when we arrived in the waiting area at the courthouse, several family members had shown up and were already arguing with one another. Minutes before we were to be called into the court room, the guards came out and say that we have to evacuate the building! I thought... this has to be some kind of joke, right? Apparently not. There had been a bomb threat and we had to leave the building, but were not allowed to leave the parking lot. For two hours we waited while they searched the building inside and out, and then they brought in bomb dogs. During that two hours, we were stuck in the parking lot, and some of that time it was raining. Eventually, the police did let us cross the street to use the bathroom at the library. So I started out across the street with some of Dawn and Corey's family. The news was filming everything and everybody, including us walking across the street to go to the bathroom! They tried to interview me on camera, but I said no way. They finally decided to cancel our case docket and reschedule all those hearings. The problem with that is that our case is complicated, and involves 5 separate attorneys. To reschedule means that the hearing will be pushed back 2 to 3 months! It's just one more obstacle along the way for this case. At least Dawn and Corey are safe with us, and we will continue to take care of them like they were our own. Please pray that God works in this situation. Only God can make all this work out best for everybody. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
