The Race is on !

We started our home study today. It does feel great to move to the next step of our journey. Ok well not really a race but still have to be prepared and ready. Tonight I ran 8 mins ! I felt great and really energized. I am so amazed that I am actually doing it. I have always been a " runner want to be " but did not commit. Starting the running run was a great step forward for me. I am going to keep with it and set more goals. So as I run and prepare for a race I am also preparing for the next step in our lives. They both feel exhilarating !

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue our journey

Moving Forward

I am happy to report that we are finally moving forward with the next step in our adoption journey. We are starting our homestudy visits on Monday. It is so weird to be waiting for this next step and now it makes things so much more real. I am not worried because I know Blaise and I can talk ! No question there, but it is going to be a very reflective time. Friends ask me if I am excited. You know I am but I don't think I can really be excited until we are actually have a child or children that will be ours. So here we go another step on the merry go round.

On another note I am really enjoying running. Well OK I am almost running , I am up to 6 minutes and walk 1 min and I have not died. It is very interesing for me and really meditative for me. I want to be a fit mommy ! Blaise says he wants a hot mommy but I will settle for fit !

In October we spent time with the Pillings. It was great to have some time to spend with Valeries kids. They are so amazing and well rounded.Busy Busy oh boy are we in for a shock. I was exhausted after 4 days with them. Oh well we will adjust I am sure. I can't wait to introduce our future kiddies to the cousins. I posted a picure of uncle Blaise with the kids. I love this picture as Blaise looks so happy to be surrounded by the kids, he has a really sparkle and lots of love in his eyes. He is going to be a great daddy.
