One month down! (many more to go)

As of today it has been one month of officially waiting!!! I can not believe how fast the month went by and hope the next many months do the same! It is not that I want to wish away the year but in the adoption world ....I want to wish away the year :)

I am hoping that all of those others who have been waiting a LONG time for referrals receive them soon! I am hopeful that next week will bring about much awaited news for many of you!

Secret Pal - not so secret now :)

This month is the last month of the secret pal exchange that I have been involved in and what a wonderful six months it has been. I received my last parcel this month and I have to say it was wonderful! My secret pal made a beautiful frame with a poem (she is a scrapbooker for sure!) and a space for a picture! Then made a bunch of thank you cards that will come in so handy!!! There was also a book called "Shades of Black" which I thought was very cool and have not seen before! - Last off there was a grandma brag book included for my mom.. ........but the biggest surprise of all was who my secret pal was. She was very tricky throughout I must say -- I thought it was coming from another province as one or two packages return addresses indicated such but to my surprise she was right here in Calgary. And to top that off I have met her and shared an Ethiopian dinner with her sitting right beside me -- Tammy I tell you this was a shock! Tammy just got exciting news for her and her husband this month - check out her blog http://tammyandsidadopt.blogspot.com/ what a wonderful surprise.

So now I really need to get my camera out and post some pictures of all the wonderful stuff that she has sent me. (But first I need to get back to work!!!).
