Eighteen Months

Months on the wait list:

Current longest waiting family has been waiting for (months):

We are about #52 on the list and #42 on the single child list.

On our eighteen-month waiting anniversary, we went to work. We got home, changed, and went to the park for a nice 30 minute jog/walk combo. Alright, alright, it was more of a walk/jog combo. We got to see many rabbits, deer, and even heard some coyotes nearby.

We really wanted to do something exciting but figured it would be best to take a quick, much needed trip to the grocery store. Then I made an extremely cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole for dinner :).

Happy eighteen months waiting!!!
