Living while Waiting: 28 Months

When we started this process, we never in a million years thought we would still be waiting for Julia to come home. The wait at that time was eight months. Last month, we did not even mark this date on the blog. Twenty eight months ago from today China received our dossier. We were logged into their system. Adoptions are taking place. The line has just been moving very slow. There were rumors two years ago that it was suppose to pick up in 2009. I have never been cynical but I really try not to get excited about rumors anymore.

There are sometimes that you really want to think about it. Lately, we hardly talk about it. We are just trying to live in the moment.

I am getting really excited about the Girls Weekend planned the first weekend of April. We are going to New York City! I love that place. Watch out-shopping, shows, streets! Total girl stuff!! Jeff has an all mens weekend the last weekend of March. We are also trying to figure out what we want to do this summer for our vacation. We are always open for ideas

Sometimes all you can do is live in the moment...moments pass, and hopefully, eventually, you reach the 'moment' you were waiting for all along.
