Making our announcement official!  It's been a long, bumpy journey, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was hoping to wait until we received an update, but like everything else, we still don't have anything after 3 weeks  Patience in timing, has only "slightly" improved, definitely not my strong point. This quote below, has gotten me through much of this wait, especially during the tumultuous beginnings.
For those of you who have traveled this journey, or those on it now for the first time, roller coaster doesn't even begin to describe it it!  Emotions run high, unexpected expenses come up (like in 3 weeks having 3 appliances and the car need huge repairs) and just the WAITING for things one has absolutely no control over.
I promised myself, and God, that this time I would trust his timing...wouldn't keep counting days, hours, minutes....but try as I might, I failed.  Guess that's what makes me human, I just want my child home.

Changing the balance

For anyone who has followed any of our journeys here, they will know that I LOVE odd numbers, and that I'm a horrible blogger.

Meet Marcus, he will be evening out our numbers.  We will now how 8 boys and 6 girls (although odd numbers for older vs. younger :)

Marcus is 121/2 and I hope to travel in October.  I will say, this has been the longest journey, we needed to start with a new homestudy agency and social worker, and returned to an agency that we previously used for Mazhu...WACAP.  Caren Peet, I miss you, my friend!

So, here we are, still filling out those reams of documents that need to be submitted, painting, cleaning out, getting ready for an auction and a garage sale. We are once again selling the Blessed by Adoption car vinyl and also have an adoption triad vinyl.

I am hoping to get an update and some new pictures this week, and will share when they come in.  Here is our timeline for those interested:  PA  2/4/15, DTC 6/5, LID 6/15 LOA issued 7/27 (waiting for hard copy)
