Well, here it is...... my first blog post. This blog is going to be used to update family and friends on our adoption. It may and will also be used to post any unusual or funny things of the day or week. I guess I will start with the first update. November 5th will be our 4 month LID. For those of you who don't know what the heck a LID is, it is our "log in date" that China gives you. This log in date gives you an idea roughly of when we will be matched with our daughter. Right now it is roughly a 14 month wait, so we are 4 down, 10 to go. We are hoping that the wait will start decreasing and we won't have to wait that long.
School is going well, last week I received the official "Congrats, you are on the Dean's list" certificate/letter. I am glad the three mid-terms are finished that I had last week. Now it is time to concentrate on the assignments.
Since today is Halloween, I will let you in on my spooky Halloween story. This morning I felt Joël get out of bed, I checked the time and it was 5:55, heard him go into the bathroom. I didn't think anything of it, and must have drifted back off to sleep for 5 minutes. My alarm goes off, I do my usual roll over and slap the snooze button. BUT this time, I had someone grab my arm and scream BOO and then proceeded to laugh his head off and scream "Happy Halloween"! I literally (well maybe not so literally) jumped 5 feet high and said a chosen few words. Joël had quietly, after going to the bathroom, laid down on the floor beside me and waited until my alarm went off. What a way to start the morning I had a smile on my face the whole day.
I am hoping we get a lot of kids at our door this year. That way I don't have to eat all the chocolate that is left over.
I will update as I go, Joël might do the same. I am not sure how often we post, but keep checkin.
