It is shocking that I have not updated this blog since February! Shame on me : )
Oh well, here I am!
We are well into our summer vacation from school and all our other activities (except softball, of course!) We have had fun days of swimming, sleepovers, VERY late nights, softball tournaments, BBQ's, time with friends and family.
To top it off, we travelled to my home country to spend time with family and friends. We packed our car full to the brim and sped way up north to Calgary, Alberta to see cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. It was a great 10 days filled with paintballing, swimming, movies, lots of food, soccer games, wild animal park and a day trip to Banff (unbelieveable...you must go if you have never been there). Phew! I'm tired just thinking back to all that we accomplished!
We got home last week and we have been busy ever since. One of my dearest friends is getting married in a few weeks and we are busy planning showers, bachelorette party and getting everything ready for the big day!
For some reason, she wants me and our other "bestie" to be bridesmaids in her wedding. We told her that if she wants "old ladies" in her wedding party then she will just have to bear looking at us in her pictures the rest of her life! :) We are super honored and unbelieveably excited to marry her off to an awesome guy loves Jesus and adores her!! Pictures to come after August 5th!
But the most exciting thing to happen since we have gotten home is . . .
sorry, no referral! : (
But . . . our agency sent an email sharing some changes in our waiting process. They have decided to share the once secret "waiting list" for families to help them determine MAYBE how long of a process they should be expecting. We got our first "official" number last week and we are #4!! Yay!!!
Since we do not know who is before us nor what they have requested, we might actually be the first in line for a 2-4 year old boy, or we may be fourth. God knows.
Jeff and I have such peace about His ultimate timing and when He is ready for us to go and bring our son home. And that is when it will happen! We are excited and anxious but ultimately we have total PEACE!
A couple weeks ago we entered our 13th month on the waiting list and now it seems we are so close to meet and bring home our son! Thanks for praying with us.
