A little good news!

Yesterday a blogging friend received her referral for an almost one year old little boy!!! Very exciting news. We were both matched around the same time and it was very exciting this morning when I received an e-mail from her saying that she had been matched. I'm very hopeful that we will soon hear as well because I'd love to have someone going through this part of the process the same time as us. My fingers are still crossed!!

Hiking photos

We have finally been getting some good weather over the past few days so we've spent every second outside enjoying it. Yesterday morning I did a hike with my running friends and in the evening Brian and I went out again. Here are a few pictures of the day. The first few pictures were taken in our garden.

25 months

Another month has passed and we've now reached 25 months. I can't remember anyone waiting longer than 28 months in the past while so I'm really hoping that we have no longer than three months of waiting left. There was another referral for a family last week who were approved just after us so that is a good sign. Our lives have been pretty boring lately other than we've spent lots of time in the garden. We don't plan on taking any vacation time this summer as we are still hoping to be travelling to the Philippines by the end of this year. It is looking less and less probable but we're still hopeful. Only time will tell!
