When I started this adoption journey I found a great blog run by two really great people! The more I read their blog the more I found that we had a lot in common. They had started the adoption journey very close to the same time I had. We were using the same agency for an Ethiopian adoption. And the most exciting part to me was that we were both accepted about a month apart so I thought maybe we could possible travel to Ethiopia together.
Well we won't be traveling together but boy I wanna celebrate with them because Bethany and Jeff got their referral for a wonderful little boy! They have a great referral story so you will have to go over and visit them and check it out. I'm so thrilled for them. They are going to be amazing parents. They are so blessed to have this little man and he is so blessed to have them.
And before anyone asks this does not mean I'm close to the end of my wait for a baby from Ethiopia. Bethany and Jeff made the great decision to open their age range and that is why they got a referral now. I'm continuing to wait for an infant 0-12 months which means that I have at least another 8 months probably longer. I also have heard nothing new on the domestic adoption side either. So while I wait I'm glad I can celebrate the blessings of friends!

I'm Alive
Yes my blogging buddies I'm alive. I've just been horribly busy. My job has been crazy hectic, I've been sick, and I just finished up another semester of grad school. Fun times! If I ever go awhile without posting you can always visit me at my other blog Hunna's Happenings. Since I've had that blog the longest I do tend to post there almost every day.
So adoption wise I have very little to report. I'm still just waiting away. I keep praying for a Christmas baby. Maybe it will happen. If not I'd love a January baby or a February baby and heck March is a good month so that would work too. Okay let's get real I'm just hoping a baby shows up someday soon.
Since a baby hasn't shown up at my house I've started using the nursery as holiday central. I still go in the nursery to pray in the mornings. That calms me. But I've found that the nursury is a good place to store gifts. So it's filled with presents right now. I've also found that the changing table is a perfect height to wrap presents. No pain the back this year! And the crib stores wrapping paper wonderfully. I've slid all the rolls of wrapping paper through the slats on the crib and it works great. I can see what I have and how much. And it doesn't get all wrinkled up in a box or fall over on the floor.
So that's what's up in my world. No baby but lots of holiday prep. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. Most of all I hope that you all get your little ones home soon!!!
