Well, it hasn't been quite as long as I thought since my last post! That being said we have been pretty busy. I took some time away from the blog world for a awhile because I didn't know what else to write and I couldn't bear to read others blogs. I have also been swamped with paper chasing and a much needed vacation. We are officially nearing the end of our paper chase now just a few more pieces and we can say that we are back to waiting. We are going domestic, in case I didn't mention that before. We are going with Mercy Ministries, which is actually a home for young ladies that are struggle to get out difficult situations. They have an adoption agency to assist in placing babies that are born to mothers in their programs that choose to adopt them out. We don't know how long the wait will be because it depends on the birth mother picking us, but we are hopeful. That being said we went into baby G's room for something other than cleaning. We had quit going in it as the wait became longer and longer with our Kaz adoption and totally avoided it when that adoption collapsed. But, I have been so full of hope and renewed excitement that I had to go in there and start dreaming again. We are not so eager that we are ready to run out an buy things or even really look at baby things, that will wait until we have been picked and maybe even until it is finalized, but for now there are some finishing touches that need to be made to the room BEFORE we bring a baby home and we are ready to tackle those. On another note, since we weren't travelling to Kaz we decided to take a much needed vacation. So at the end of February we went on a short 3-night cruise to the Bahamas. It was so relaxing and gave Jeff and I a chance to get away and reconnect after the tumultuous weeks prior. The weather was beautiful and we got good and sunburnt, something that doesn't happen to us Missourians in February!
Me snorkeling, the weather was beautiful and so was the reef and the fish, but boy was the water cold!
