One day this week I was hugging Chris, and he said to me, "This is going to be the month." I said, "What makes you think that?" Then he points to something on our refrigerator. This is what I saw:
This is a calendar our real estate agent sent us last Christmas. In case you can't read the fine print, here's a closer view:
"We Love Referrals!"
Sign or no sign, this made me smile. Come on April!!!
It's a sign!! You know what it reminds me of? That bruise on your leg that was in the shape of a heart! haha. So this must be a sign, it's all come full circle now! lol.
Amy got her referral today!!!! It's a GIRL!! We're at the top of the list...woohoo!!!!!!!! It's kind of a scary place to be. I'm not really expecting anything for a couple of weeks...with the big jump in days on the waiting list, I'm thinking there have to be several families waiting but not on the FBI. So, we will continue to wait:)
You know, you guys are only one day behind us...you could definitely get the call before we do!!! You're basically sitting next to me in the NUMBER ONE spot:)
God placed a heart for Africa and for adoption in both of us a long time ago. In April 2008 God called us to do something surprising: to begin our family by adopting before we have biological children. Even crazier? When we picked our our first child, we met our second. We're excited and overwhelmed, but we know without a shadow of a doubt that this is God's call on our life. Thanks for sharing in the journey!

I think that is a sign if ever I saw one!!! These odds are good so I'm gonna wager it all and say the 23rd!
