• Hi there to everyone that has suffered through this long drought of
  information. Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. We have recently gotten good news about our process in Vladivostok. The paperwork has finally made it to the Judge, that is the last stop it
  will make before we are called to come back to pick up Noah!!!!!Yeah!!!! The Judge legally has up to 2 months to set a court date, They will be moving along as quickly as possible so it should only take a few weeks or so, we hope. Once the court date is determined they will call us with that date to be there, we will more than likely get 2-3 weeks notice. We are trying to be very patient but that is starting to wear very very thin. We know that we are literally almost there now, it is in fact just around the corner.
  We would like to thank all of our friends and family for being so
  supportive and inquisitive throughout the drawn out process, just hang in there because it's almost here.
  This Thursday is our 10 year Wedding Anniversary, yes it really has been 10 years. At times it feels like we have only been married a short time but other times it feels longer than 10 years.We have waited a long time to adopt, but we that right now , in this present moment, in 2008 we are fully dedicated and whole heartedly ready to meet and raise our son, there were times that we felt we were ready but God new that we were not. We may not have understood that at the time but the things that we have gone through and grown through as a couple have made us the excited soon to be parents that we are today.We have definitely learned through experience that you are never in control of your own life, God is in control completely and you must surrender and let him work!
