Official.

It is truly official now. We are going to be parents!!! We sent in our contracts to work exclusively with All God's Children International Ethiopia program. I am still having trouble wrapping my mind around all of this. It probably won't truly hit me until I look into those big brown eyes, sigh- I am in love already.

Approved.

Enough said.

YYAAaayyyy!!!

AGCI called to let me know that they received the letter. Thank Heavens! We will found out Tuesday afternoon what comes next. Tiffany our inquiry coordinator has been the absolute best, the second she had the letter we had an e-mail. Thanks Tiffany. Now for a lovely on-call weekend at work. A few more pennies to put away for baby.

I love this picture of my lil sis from our wedding. The photographer caught this during the money dance. Show me the money.

Still waiting....

Put another call into the doc's office to see how the letter is coming along. I had  to leave a message of course. It has been three weeks, and I need more patience. This is the last hold up, so far out of my control right now.

Update.

AGCI called to let us know that our application looks great, but we still need one more document from Dr. Robbins. I have called his nurse twice with no reply, faxed her with no reply- crosses fingers she calls back today. The letter should be so quick for her to write, we were only with their practice for two months. I just have to pray that she gets a spare minute to drop my letter in the mail. Please, please hurry.

My heart is in Africa.

We sent in our application to All God's Children International on June 2, the day before my 28th birthday. I will never forget this birthday.  We can't wait to embark on this beautiful journey to Africa to meet the child  God has made for us.  We feel very blessed by all the support we have received so far. Thanks everyone.

Where has the time gone?

Where have I been you ask? I will tell you, but it better be in a list form or I will lose your attention. Cute baby pics never hurt either.

• I have been at Dr. Robbins' office learning after a lot of testing, and money spent that we have nothing wrong. We did two medicated cycles with great response, but no baby. It's a very weird experience to give yourself injections and feel like one giant mood swing at all times. We are no longer seeking treatment.
• We went on a much needed vacation to Hawaii. See below.
• Our third niece was born on March 20th. Charlie is a little fighter who went through brain surgery at just two days old. She is doing great and has the sweetest little face you have ever seen.  Mom, Dad and big sis are doing well also. Her picture is from our little photo shoot we had. I heart my camera.

• We made a trip to Pacific City, Oregon for a long weekend. It is such a beautiful place, makes you very thankful that God has given us such an amazing earth to live.
• We joined a new church that we absolutely love.
• Last but not least, WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT FROM ETHIOPIA! (more info about this later).
