Friday Update – 11.14.08

Adoption Update: There were six little boys referred this week! One set of two month old identical twins (yay we moved up a spot!) and four infants ranging from two months to 19 months. Congratulations to all the happy families.

Matt and I both finally feel like this could really happen and had “Oh crap” moments in regards to preparing. It will still be 2009 before we travel, but with the holidays coming up we figure we should start getting some stuff done now. We are both procrastinators by nature, but neither of us truly want to put everything off until we get a referral because we will have enough to do before we travel, so we are trying really hard to get some stuff done. I mean trying really HARD, we much rather wait until the last minute, but are trying to avoid the added stress that brings. We have decided to start painting the nursery, we have lots of artwork planned, so it will take some time. I cleared out the room this week, except for some pieces of furniture and then we will start the painting process this weekend. I will take plenty of pics because I am not allowed to paint for the most part. Hey if you want it done right do NOT let me paint. We also went and got some more travel vaccinations today, yellow fever and typhoid. They might slow us down a bit this weekend, but we will see.

Keep the Browns in your prayers this weekend. Their court date is November 17!

I think that is it for now.
