We just keep moving forward on the trail to M3. I continue to try and gather paperwork, complete paperwork, submit paperwork and figure out how we will do all this once my husband leaves to start his training in another week. I know there will be things that come up once he's gone that will require his presence. I'm sure that's unavoidable...I'm just wondering what we will do when that happens and he's in another zip code. I just have to keep reminding myself that things are happening on God's timetable, not mine, and if He decides something needs to be done, who am I to question how he will make that happen?
I am looking more and more forward to visiting Ethiopia. I decided that if I land this new job Tuesday (and even if I don't), I'm going to figure out a way to sock away $10/week or so such that I can afford to purchase a new Nikon digital camera before I head overseas. I want to document everything and from what I understand, those cameras are amazing. I've seen photos that they produce and I'm encouraged that even with my sometimes terrific eye, I could take some wonderfully engaging photos that our family would treasure. I not only have to document this trip for M3, but also for my husband and children who won't be with me on this first journey to Ethiopia. We will return as a family, but for now, we'll have to be satisfied with the travel journal photos.
We have had several new folks join our 4,000 the past week or so. We currently have the equivalent of 341 people involved in our quest to bring M3 to the States. We are so thankful that you wish to be involved and that you continue to join us here at the blog to check out how we're doing.
We're gearing up to say goodbye to Daddy very soon so the girls are a little sad. M2 asked the other night if M3 were "really coming here" and when I told her that she indeed was, M2 asked "when?" I told her we needed to be patient and that it takes time. She replied, "Well, if M3 were here, she would be with me in my room and we could play. If M3 were here, I think I would miss Daddy less." I can't wait to check more items off our 'to-do' list so that M2 can see progress too.
