waiting...

i don't have much time to update but i just wanted to write a quick note. we received an email from our agency today that they are possibly expecting a group of referrals to come in within the next 2-3 weeks. God willing, our child will be in that group!!! we can't wait to "meet" our hope-to-be son or daughter :) {ryan is hoping son, i'm hoping for either...or both. ha!} anyways, when i read the update, i was giddy with excitement so i had to share the news! my only fear is that i will possibly be out of the country when our referral comes in, and i was really hoping to share that special moment with ryan. however, whatever happens, happens and i'm okay with it. i know that God has a plan for my trip and for our adoption, so if the two happen to collide, that's alright with me. another sweet family, the monks, from our agency got a referral a few weeks ago and were just given tentative travel dates in october for their first trip to meet their boys. we are praying that we can travel with them or sometime closely after if possible. we don't want to waste any time getting our kiddo home and we'd love to share in the joy of expanding our families with them!

anyways, that's really all i've got the energy for now. we're actually planning to head out tomorrow afternoon instead of saturday as originally planned. we've got some family matters to tend to in tennessee as my grandfather's prognosis for his cancer is not looking good. we're going to stop and spend some extra time loving on him and my grandma rather than driving straight home on saturday...

i'll try to update more on our trip, the home visit with our boys' social worker last week, adoption fundraising, etc. soon.
