Brad and I were sitting on the couch the other night and we were like, Oh shoot we forgot to celebrate one month waiting on the waiting list, haha! Luckily this month has flown by and we have been busy, it makes it go quicker! Our unofficial list was updated the other day. Some families have joined our Yahoo Group since we were DTE, so our number haven't changed much. We are #16 for a boy, #17 for a girl, and #7 for siblings. Some of the sibling requests are for 2 of the same sex, so who knows what will happen!! We rest assured God already has it all figured out, so we don't need to!! (I have to type that for a reminder for me too!)
One of the main reasons we have had such a busy month is that my little brother Chad married a wonderful girl Emily. We are so excited to have her in our family. Emily is always so sweet, kind, and positive. Emily's maid of honor described her as a person who is a great example of a person who loves people just like Jesus loves us. What a compliment and so true at the same time! Chad is a lucky guy to have a great wife! She is from the Philly area so they had a Philly wedding and a reception in IL for our friends and family. Both were beautiful and fun weekends! Here are a few pictures:

Your wedding looks like it was fun! Remember all the things we have in common through this adoption?!?!?..........MY brother gets married in October!!!! And I love my soon-to-be sister in-law too! This is CRAZY! We must meet in ET!!!! I SO HOPE WE DO!!!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful you and what a beautiful baby! How fun! I didn't know you could follow a waiting list! I would say that makes it easier, but I think for me it wouldv'e driven me crazy. Maybe not knowing would make the process easier. Then again, nothing really makes this process easier! LOL! Keep the Faith!
