random post

There is no new news to report. I feel like I need to post something at least once a month on this blog, because I know there are a few people who look at it.

Our close friends, that we talk to regularly, have already stopped asking questions because they know that if something happens we will tell them. Our families, due to the distance between us, ask tons of questions and just want to make sure they don't miss out on anything. What makes me feel bad is that I have nothing to say. We've done all we can do, now we wait...for a LONG time. I wish I could update people on the latest, but nothing has changed. It does make me smile when people ask questions because I know w are being thought about, and more importantly that people are excited about the arrival of our child!

I had planned on decorating the baby's room this summer. It seems premature, but with the current wait being 16 months we could have a referral in July 2008, then traveling in September. With my school schedule I have no time to decorate a room during the school year; being optimistic I thought that maybe the wait time would shorten over the next year (probably not), so that means I only have one summer before we travel to China. Honestly, I think I talked myself into it because I love the thought of decorating a room! Truth is, I will probaby have plenty of time in the summer of 2008, so I may have to rethink my plans.

I think Kevin is already tired of me talking about names. For those of you wondering we do not have one picked out. I always ask Kevin, "What do you think about _____?" He always responds, "I don't know." Someday he'll have to agree or disagree, but until then we will have many conversations like this! We throw around a bunch of stuff, but nothing really serious. It's hard to name a child, I think it will cause me a lot of stress the closer it gets. Kevin wants to wait until we see her face. We get the luxury of seeing our child months before we have to give her a name, so we may take advantage of that.

Well, there was the random adoption post. Nothing exciting, just something to read. Hopefully good news is on the way!
