1 Month....

Today is March 23rd.  One month from today Nate and I will be waiting by the phone (or maybe computer... I think we will get an email) to see if we passed court in Ethiopia and can officially make plans to go and pick up Jordan!  Oh my goodness..... let's see..... what can I do in the next 30 days to stay sane???


* Keep teaching.  Thank you, Lord, for my job!  Keeping me nice and busy!
* Read, read, and read some more!  I ordered 2 more books this weekend (which is hilarious, because I've yet to finish any of the 3 that I already have).  But, I ordered No Cry Sleep Solution and Baby Wise II.  I LOVE to read, so that works out well for this waiting time.
* Keep learning Amharic words.  I got this GREAT CD, "Simple Amharic for Adoptive Families."  I highly recommend it.  I've learned things like "I love you" and "It's ok" and "bottle" so far.  Today I learned how to say "thank you," which I can't wait to say to all of the HOH staff that is taking such AMAZING care of Jordan!!!  
* Spring Break is next week.... mom is coming.... we are going to be BUSY doing baby stuff and spring cleaning! (Mom, hope this is ok... I didn't really ask you what you wanted to do, huh?)  :)
* Keep praying for my friend, Angie, to pass court on April 6th and be able to go and pick up Silas and bring him home!!!!  


So... I can stay busy, right?  I can stay busy... I can stay busy.... I can stay busy....


Thank you so much for your prayers for April 23rd!!!!  We pray that our court case is successful that day and we are blessed to be able to travel in May to pick up our sweet Jordan!!! :)
