Our Trip Becomes Two

The Ethiopian government has officially changed the requirements so it looks like we'll be heading their twice. Not what we wanted but we knew all along that we're not in control and there would be many ups and downs. Next month marks a year since we started officially with our agency. Our dossier has been in Ethiopia since September and we hope and pray for a referral any day now. The kids are all eagerly waiting too. They pray for her and talk about her everyday. We just recently celebrated Dason and Ky's birthday, along with Easter. Good times and a reminder to not want to speed anything up but just to enjoy every moment with our family. Brett is a lot more patient than me (shocker I know) throughout this whole process. I love his excitement to meet his new daughter too and can't wait to go over their together. What an amazing journey that will be! Perhaps if you're reading this you may be thinking that maybe God has adoption in your plans as well. Just pray about it and see what happens. Watching God work is one of the most inspiring, amazing things that we can do on this earth. I long to hold our baby girl but I know God will be holding her until we get there and I know He'll keep her safe. Thanks for your prayers!

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
