Gone Fishing

Hey I am back after a very long sabbatical from blog writing. Not that I don't enjoy writing as I do very much but after a while I felt like I had nothing new to write and no updates so I stopped. Recently, a good friend of mine at C.I. had suggested that I just write as she had missed reading my blog. So ....I am busier than ever yet it is easier than ever to carve time to sit and write.

I do hope everyone had a great summer despite the weather we had. I am loving September as my August and trying to get away on weekends as much as possible. This weekend I am home in Toronto.

I bet you want an update of my adoption? I went almost the whole summer without an update, tyring to put it on the back burner and not pestering everyone at the agency. I think it was back in April/May that I found out how the list had been reconstructed and I was thrown to number 25 in the wait. The months of April and May did not see any referrals out to waiting parents which was sad and didn't help my wait at all. Summer went slowly and then suddenly when I called the agency in Sept. I found out that I am number 10-12 on the list.

What? I couldn't believe it. Suddenly the time period of fall 2009 was actually here and not just in my mind of wishful thinking. IT IS HERE. I am so not ready : ) I did a lot of prep work last winter and then I have just done nothing. I am sure that is what it is like when you are pregnant...there just comes a time when you do nothing because you think the finish line is too far off. Well, maybe not quite the same considering when you are pregnant your feet start to disappear but you get what I am saying.

So I am looking at receiving my referral of a baby before Christmas with hopes to travel three months after that time. What a lovely Christmas present that would be. I am not even sure if she is born yet but I am thinking about her all the time now and wondering.

So now to get my ducks in a row and get some savings together and some stuff sold to help out with the costs. That is what I am doing this weekend.... organizing to determine what I am selling, getting an ad out there as my roommate is moving out on the 30th and then visiting my banker Monday morning.

I have faith and hope and for me that is like the blood that runs through my veins and the air that I breath. I cannot live without it and I am thankful for it.

Thanks for being patient and waiting for a new blog my friends. More to follow.
