Wait List

We found out on August 31 that we are #70 on the wait list. This was our fist month on the list since our dossier was sent to Ethiopia in August and we will get an update the beginning of each month. The number came with a huge range of emotions. While excited we are finally on the wait list, we were also upset by the fact that we were so high on the wait list. The biggest thing we have learned about this journey is that there are many ups and downs. It is a huge roller coaster ride of emotions, but we must remind ourselves that God is in control and he has the perfect child for us picked out and he is weaving our paths together. One thing our social worker stressed to us was to enjoy each day and take advantage of the time we have together, because once we do bring our daughter home life is going to be very different.

One thing that we are both excited about is the start of football season (hence the jersey with the number on it).
