Catching Up

I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post---I just HOPE the time continues to fly till referral!!
Nothing new on the adoption front. We are 2 months into our wait. On Monday 11/13 we ate Chinese food. (and we ate it again on 11/14 and 11/15!) I'm making my boys learn to eat with chopsticks. Not an easy task! I just cannot eat Chinese food with a fork. Chopsticks make it taste better!
We may be learning Chinese from 3 high school girls from China. The speech pathologist at the school I work at is working with these girls after school. They wanted to repay her in some way and asked if she knew anyone that wanted to learn Chinese. Boy does she!!! She told them about us and they said that they know us, that we come in to their restaurant all the time. We had just been there the day before on the 13th!
We are pretty excited to not only learn Chinese (and good luck with that!) but to get to know the family. That to me is the best part. I've always been intruiged by other cultures and other countries and peoples, so this is going to be right up my alley! Can't wait!
I attended my first Cyber Shower Saturday. Our August DTC group (the "Lucky 8s") had a cyber baby shower. I had the BEST buddy. She got me a wonderful book and hooded towel that I will cherish.
It's such an amazing concept to be able to meet and get to know total and complete strangers from across the globe that you have so much in common with! Amazing. I am so glad I have this blog and I belong to this DTC group. It really is a small world after all! :)
It's just so nice to be able to communicate with people who share this experience. They know how I'm feeling, they've been or are where I'm at. They know the lingo, they feel my pain! I don't know what I'd do without all the cyber support out there!
So, thanks everybody. You've made a difference in my life.
