Waitlist Update #2

So, we received our second waitlist update and we are still #70. This was a little upsetting because we thought we would have moved a little on the list, but we have to remember that God is in control and that he has our daughter picked out for us. Waiting is still hard and we have been trying to occupy the time with other things that we have always wanted to do. I finished my first triathlon and Casey was there to cheer me on. We also celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary by spending a relaxing night at Chateau Elan.

Sometimes I feel like the paperwork part was easier because we had papers that we had to fill out and videos that we had to watch, it felt easier to be doing something. So to do something,we have begun working on getting stuff ready for the nursery. We bought a convertible crib and glider so far and are trying to figure out what color scheme we want to use. It's hard not to buy all the cute clothes/shoes that we see in stores. We want to be able to give her a great life here, but I have to remember that it is not about what things we buy her, but the love that we show her.
