One down!

Well we have officially been waiting for one month, wow how time flies. We are trying to keep ourselves busy, our wonderful friends threw us a couples shower and we had fun hanging out with our friends and got some wonderful gifts. We are very blessed to have so many wonderful, supportive friends. We have been enjoying the weather and finally got most of the outside of our house painted, a project long over due. We have been having some issues, with our somewhat new laptop so we will be away from the blogging world for a few weeks while it is being fixed, hopefully. We will probably be checking in, just not as often. So keep us in your prayers that this process continues to run smoothly! Hope all is well with all of you!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!!

We are now a waiting family!!! our Dossier was sent to Ethiopia on Friday August 29th so now comes the hard part, waiting. As you can read from the title of our blog we decided to unveil her name, Marley. Kris actually picked the name; he heard it last winter and really liked it, and it has been the only name we both really liked and agreed on. She will have two middle names Ann (my middle name) and her given name. We had originally decided not to tell her name but there are at least a dozen pregnant women in our town and we thought it might be better to put it out there so people are aware that it is OUR name so they will not use it. I know Marley is not a common name but you never know. Also I had never posted that Kris and I are going to have a new niece or nephew, my sister is expecting again in early February, we are all very excited!

So please pray that our agency starts receiving lots of referrals and that our referral comes quickly!!!
