November shared list

Well folks, the November shared list came out last night and once again our kiddo wasn't on it.

Last month I fell apart and completely lost faith. I am not proud of how I acted.
So this time I'm making the decision to hold it together. We are sad, but we can't lose sight that this will happen. It's not our month and that's ok.

On the upside, the holiday season is my FAVORITE time of year and I'm looking forward to enjoying it with friends and family.

 I know I say this a lot, but we really appreciate you guys sticking it out this past year with us. I know that it's hard to know what to say, especially for those who have never had experience with adoption. We really appreciate your thoughts, prayers and support and that's probably part of the reason we were able to feel at peace this month.






I hope many kids found their forever homes this month and we can't wait until it's our kid's turn!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Oh Hi!

Hi there! Remember us?
It appears that we have been a little lazy in the posting department and my wonderful sister in law (Hi Christina!!) informed me that she was tired of looking at my last post, so I promised I would give an update.

First off, no baby news yet. We are waiting for the shared list to come out for November, most likely it will come out the week of Thanksgiving. We are trying not to get our hopes up too high, but we are praying that this will be our month. It looks like if we get matched this month we are looking at spring time travel, which is not what we had anticipated when we started this process, but really not much is how we thought it would be so I'm not sure why we are surprised! I am really working on my attitude and trying to remember that God has a plan, so hopefully there will be no more "woe is me" posts. Hopefully.

In other news we have spent the last month spending time with friends and family, going to CSU football games and taking a trip to Louisville, KY. I was lucky enough to tag along on a work trip Brian took and we made the most of our short time there. We visited 6 distilleries, 2 wineries, the Louisville Slugger factory and Churchill Downs and met up with a good friend and her adorable son (Hi Erin!). It is a BEAUTIFUL area to visit in the fall and I highly recommend it to everyone! I'm not much of a bourbon drinker (that's putting it lightly) but I still had a great time visiting the distilleries and watching Brian drink.

I'll leave you with a few pictures from our trip. I promise to inform you ASAP after the list comes out this month! Thanks for your prayers and sticking with us through this low part of the adoption roller coaster!
