Two years ago yesterday our lives changed forever. It was two years ago yesterday that stood in Maurices in the mall and hastily answered my phone completely unaware that it was The Call. The call in which our social worker said " Well, I have a referral for you. Its a little boy- he's just six weeks old". Oh, my. Tears, joy, relief, disbelief, met expectations, longed for dreams, possibilities revealed and thousands of answered prayers. It was a day I absolutely will never, ever forget. Here's a little family flashback...
It is crazy to think how life has changed since that day. God has been so incredibly good to us- it really truly is unbelievable how He has knitted together our little family. God still perfectly orchestrates our days.
In honor of our 2nd Anniversary we found ourselves sitting across the living room from our social worker once again. On our 2nd 'referral-versary' we had our home study visit for our process to bring home our 2nd little Ethiopian. We can't wait to see how God unfolds this next chapter. The latest update is that our social worker is writing up our home study while we finish up our training hours. Then, we'll apply for our immigration approval. We're getting there... that's the most important thing.
In the mean time, we're really looking forward to another summer with Kaleb. I'm convinced I'll be living outside and spend most of my time with 8 feet of some form of water.
Thanks for the prayers- we greatly appreciate them!
