My thoughts lately have been consumed with the adoption. I don’t wear everyone else out talking about it and no one probably even knows I am thinking about it, but I am. It doesn’t interfere with my daily life, yet! I am so impatient! I would like to call and ask “Where exactly is our homestudy sitting?” I want to see who’s desk it’s on and know exactly how much more time we are looking at! But, obviously, I can’t do that. Patience is such a huge struggle for me! I know God has perfect timing. I remind myself of that constantly, but it is still so hard for me. Even after we get our approval signed off we will have to wait on that first possible match. That will definitely have to be Gods timing. There is no guessing what that time period will be…….. Gods Time! Our match may come up immediately or it could take months! *sigh*I can’t believe we have come this far. Our next step, one day, will be to find a bigger house. I love my yard and my house and I will be very sad to leave it, but we need a bigger one. My dream would be to stay home, raise my kids and possibly adopt more. That may not be what God has in mind, but that’s my dream. I’m sad that I haven’t been able to be off with my kids up until this point, but I did for a year, which was the best year ever! I am blessed to work for a company that is family oriented and flexible though.
For now I try to stay busy and patient. This could be a very different holiday season for us this year! It is coming so quickly. The summer came and is almost over already! School will start back and then we will be hit with all the holidays! It’s amazing how quickly time flies the older we get, (unless we are waiting on something LOL).
So far we are surviving the night schedule. Not liking it, but surviving it! Allison is doing GREAT on her piano lessons. Nick is studying to take his test for his learners permit and Brendan is just chasing lizards and taking it easy like usual!
