Adoption 1 year "Waiting" Quickly Approaching

Our one year of "waiting" for our precious bundle of joy is quickly approaching (November 4th) so we have to go through another Home Study. This means we have to resubmit paperwork, thankfully it's a lot less this time, as well as get updated letters from all our doctor's stating that we're still in good health! Thankfully my shoulder injury was nothing more than major bruising on my part. LoL
 
Once the agency receives and reviews our paperwork then they'll set up a time to come out to the house for another visit. Basically, it's just to talk about any changes that have taken place over the last year. Nothing to exciting to report on our end, which in this case is a good thing. This all will happen before our anniversary date as the agency doesn't want any kind of lapse. Then from there we continue to wait for our birthmom.
 
Fred and I are doing well, we're just ready for the "waiting" to be over and for this next exciting chapter in our life to begin. It seems like we've been waiting forever!  The waiting is just so hard, because we just feel like we're sitting in this continual holding pattern.   But, we know that God is in control and we just have to trust Him that he knows when the perfect time is for us to receive "the call".   We pray that it's sooner than later, because one of us might loose there mind before long. :-) We'll let you choose who that person is....
 
We love you all and we appreciate you standing with us and right beside us through this journey. This little one will be so blessed and loved to know each and every one of you. I can't wait for you all to meet "him" at our BIG OLE PARTY!!!
 
Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. 
(God showed me this verse 3 years ago at the peak of our infertility and it still speaks to me daily.)
