Months on the wait list:
Current longest waiting family has been waiting for (months):
29
We are about number 67 on the list and 56 on the single child list.
We hit the 15-month mark on Sunday. I am not going to lie but this month was not an easy one for me. I did not feel like going out or talking to anyone but my husband. Let me tell y’all, he is amazing. He has been laying with me on the couch, sometimes all day, watching Netflix and just letting me have my boo hoo moments. Yes, moments not moment (there were a few). The thing is that I really miss our son. I don’t know if he has been born yet or what kind of hardships his family might be facing. I don’t know when we will meet him. I don't know how he is doing. I just feel so incomplete without him. What I do know however, is that he is in God’s hands and I trust that He will assure him that we love him very much and we will be together soon. I know He is also watching over his beautiful family.
Now that I am done venting, let me y'all how we celebrated the big 1-5. We woke up and we cooked what each one of us was craving for breakfast. Rob had scrambled eggs with leftover fajita from the night before and I had pancakes.

| Thanks Danni! |
We then started working on the puzzle that we bought the day before at Half Price Books.
After that we layed on the couch yet again and around seven o’clock, Rob basically shook me and said “c’mon, we are going out. Take a quick shower”. I obeyed and we decided to go to Wine 101, a small wine bar not too far from our house. It was perfect! It was extremely romantic and delicious. Have I mentioned that I love cheese? Really? I haven’t? Well, I loooove cheese. We had the cheese tour with some wine.

We sat outside by a small fountain surrounded by oak trees and perfect weather.

| I really don't know what I would do without this man in my life. I love him so so much. |
Happy fifteen months waiting!!!
Hang in there Carmen, I know just how you feel! I was so encouraged the early part of last month when 3 referrals went out fairly close together, now there seems to have been a very long dry spell. I too have days of deep discouragement mixed with days of great comfort and trust. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Christ who WILL help us to run this race with endurance!
