TWO TRIPS

Apparently Ethiopia is now a 2 trip country!!!!

The Wait

Months tomorrow.

No news is still news?

I was told I needed to update my blog. I feel like there isn't a whole lot to say. I am tired of hearing myself whine and would assume you are tired of it as well.

Part of me feels like saying 'screw this' and moving on, but I know I wouldn't be happy if I did. I am now that person that others worry about when they have good news. That sucks! We hit 18 months on Wednesday and we are still months from referral.

Lots of people tell us God has a plan. I just wish I had a clue what it is.

Eternal Sunshine

Lately I have been thinking about the movie Eternal Sunshine. I would like to block the part of my brain that thinks about the adoption. Just for one month. I would love to not think about the forum, referrals and The List.

I would really like to not think about what we do if/when this never happens.

Heart for Haiti

junkposse is having a heart for Haiti giveaway.

Junkposse also made my "Expecting from Africa" necklace that I wear everyday.

Envy

Tonight Joel and I will go out for a drink or maybe rent a movie and have a 7&7 at home. We will sleep in tomorrow until around 10 (really), probably do some laundry, take a nap and then have dinner with friends. Sunday-pretty much the same story as Saturday. If I tell 99.9% of my friends this they will tell me how lucky I am.

They will tell me that their kids run in and wake them up before 8am on the weekend. They will have birthday parties to attend or prepare for, trips to the zoo and dinner out will be at Chuck E Cheese or McDonald's (ok most of my friends don't go to McD's but you get the point). They will watch the Disney channel. I will tell them how lucky they are.

As much as I will miss my sleep- I can't wait for the day our babe(s) runs in our bedroom pounces on us and says "Mommy get up. Daddy get up!"

Tribal Expansion

The Tribe is rapidly growing. The Ferg's should be bringing their 3 year old son home any day now. I can't wait to meet him. They got stuck in ET on a paperwork issue.

The Grandey's just received a referral for a 6 month old baby boy. I haven't seen his picture yet but am sure he is cute as can be. I can see Lila roaring at him now (I am pretty sure she was a lion in a past life).

And lets not forget about the beautiful Ryan. She looked so cute in her tiny little newborn outfit on Sunday. We also get to see the beloved Ben this weekend. He has been home for almost 2 months.

So four new members in the last two months! Hoping for two more soon!
