The new year is here.
Wow, it is actually 2006. That is just amazing to me. Time really does just fly by. The holidays were wonderful. We were able to go home to SL and see everyone. I cannot believe how much I missed being home. I was really surprised at how homesick I had been and didn't even realize it until I went home. I really do hope we get to move closer to everyone soon, but if it doesn't happen I will just have to make more visits. A whole year without going home was just too much.
Another amazing thing to me is that it is very possible that this is the year that we will become parents. I know that it may not happen, but I am hoping it does. I am actually surprised at how much hope I have that it will happen this year. The best possible thing to happen is for our baby to come before this summer so we won't have to transfer or update any of our paperwork if we end up moving. For some reason I think it will happen by this summer, but a part of me doesn't want to be too hopeful. I have been so hopeful so many times before when it came to growing our family, and it hurts too much when it doesn't happen. Yet still I can't help but be excited and hopeful that our time to be parents is very soon.
So many family and friends that received our Christmas newsletters and cards expressed to us their desire to help us find our baby. Many people now know of our desire to adopt and have the means to spread the word. We sent out pass-along cards in all our letters so that people can easily give out our information. Becky and Kevin did the same thing and so now many people have our information to share at their fingertips. I also need to start thinking of making ourselves more known here in Mississippi. I am thinking of finding some places on campus to put up a flyer or something. I have until the 18th before school starts, so I should have plenty of time to think of some more things to do to make sure we find our baby soon.
