{insert happy dance here}
our agency thinks it is most likely that we will be matched at the january meeting. but i wouldn't complain if it happened in december! we turned in our dossier to the sna on november 2, so 2 months would make that around january 2. they like to have around 2 months to look over the dossier...sometimes even longer. our dossier was submitted to the sna on 2/4/10, evaluated on 3/16/10, we submitted revisions on 4/21/10 and our dossier was accepted on 7/8/2010. it was a very long 5 months. hopefully we will not have it take this long again, at least that is what our agency tells us.
we are still waiting to hear if the sna has anything they want us to add or update in our dossier. so far, no word. it will probably happen super close to christmas, making it tricky to get anything done. this is the way these things seem to work.
so until we hear something else...anything else...we wait.
waiting is not my favorite and probably never will be.
truthfully...your kind words have been a balm to my soul. thank you for praying for us, for your texts, your emails, your comments, your facebook messages. thank you for your friendship and encouragement.
the waiting is hard. but not as hard as not having a chance at our little man.
so i will happily wait. well, for right now.
my plans for the weekend are as such:
make and ship etsy orders
finish sewing 2 christmas presents
finish sewing and making 2 birthday presents
wrap christmas presents
make turkey noodle soup and homemade rolls
take a nap
translate part of a file into english
bake something sweet
listen to christmas music
answer 1 billion questions from little bit
make more hair flowers and headbands
i'm not likely to actually take a nap. little bit likes to stand over me while i am sleeping and breathe on me. or whisper in the loudest stage whisper known to man that i am sleeping to anyone who comes in the room. the number of naps i have had since bringing her home has greatly diminished.
so i guess i will just try to continue to keep myself busy.
at least that makes the time go quickly.
right now that's the very best medicine.

What a difference a year makes :) Wait until next year when you look back, you will (again) be amazed. I am now praying that we will get to travel together ;) Which probably means one of us will have to wait (grrrrr) longer that we would like to. I'm praying it anyway until/unless God does that "making His desires my desires" thing.
