Hello!!!!
It's been quite awhile since I have updated on our crazy perfect life.
Our first anniversary (August 27)came up quickly. Amazing how 365 days can fly by without realizing. It was quite the day; Derek, his parents & I were scheduled to leave on a cruise to celebrate our Anniversary & Derek's 30th birthday. Well....needless to say Hurricane Isaac had another plan in mind. We found out on our anniversary that the airline had cancelled our flight to New Orleans due to the weather....completely understandable. BUT...the cruise line was adamant that they were still cruising & at that point refused any type of refund/credit. Needless to say Derek & I will NEVER forget our first anniversary & thankfully we have credit to take another cruise!
Work is great! Very busy as I am the interim IVF coordinator for this cycle. I'm sitting in for a wonderful nurse that just had a beautiful baby boy!!! It's certainly a nice change, but man is it crazy! It is supposedly the biggest cycle we've had in 5 years!!!!! I'm really excited for it to get here, though I may regret that statement soon. :D
On the adoption front.....not much news. Derek & I have been working on getting our Dear BirthMother letter completed and tweaking our applications etc. As of right now, we are thinking of turning it (application) in at the end of November. This way I'm through craziness at work and we have a few months of 'budgeting' per my husbands request :)
Now, don't get me wrong, if a situation rises in between now and then, we would certainly move forward without question. We're just not quite ready to dive into an agency quite yet!
So I ask you a favor....please keep Derek and I in your thoughts and prayers. We really are leaning on God to show us the correct path and trusting he will light the way to starting our family.
Again if you know of ANY situation of a child needing or a friend that's pregnant and considering adoption, give them our email or even this blog.
We greatly appreciate all of the support throughout this process and hope and pray even more will come as our journey unfolds.
XOXO
That's awesome you're the IVF coordinator this cycle & congrats to M on the newest baby! Sending lots of thoughts your way as you guys prepare for this next step. I know it's hard but someday when you have your little one in your arms the road that led you to them will all be worth it.
