I really can't wait until I'm able to post & share pictures (and brag ;) about my baby. But right now I am still waiting for my referral. I realize that even after I have my referral I will still have to wait...wait for my first trip date to meet my baby, then waiting again for a date to pick up my baby. I just feel like I'm constantly waiting.
I did hear some news last week that referrals should be coming soon and adoptions in Kyrg will begin moving again. This is very positive news.

In the meantime what can I tell you? I've been trying really hard to get things done. I'm in the midst of a kitchen renovation project. It's exciting, but also a lot of work. Who knew what would be involved in selecting a sink? And the perfect faucet? And, should I spring for the soap/lotion dispenser? How complicated is it to select hardware for cabinets and drawers? (for me, it's complicated) And while I'm at it, what about lighting? It's time to say good bye to the ugly flourescent light in the kitchen. Why do they even bother installing such an unattractive fixture in the first place!!?? My small kitchen project has grown. I know in the end, though, I will love this new and fresh space.
Other things I'm slowly working on are the baby room. I also decided that it's time to replace my smoke alarms. Afterall, I want to create a very safe environment for my little one. I thought I could do this myself until I discovered they were hard wired and I am just not comfortable messing with electrical wires. It seems lately that simple projects turn into big projects...why is that?
For pictures, I'd like to share my snazzy new countertop, sink, and faucet.

Don't worry, your long wait will someday soon be replaced by stress-filled, chaotic hurry-up-you're-leaving-in-48-hours-and-you-have-no-visa insanity. There is no in between.
By the way, love the counter tops!
I seem to remember telling you that this adoption thing is always a "hurry up and wait" activity (and one you have no control of, either)...and it truly is. Think of it as a pregnancy with no set due date...less physical pain, but no less a pain in the you-know-what in many other ways. But you know what? After court and when you arrive home from far away places, you'll soon forget the waiting.
Soon, my friend. Soon... :-)
Ooh! I love the counter tops. I hae been trying to convince my husband that we NEED granite, but he's not going for it.I'm glad to hear that the referrals are speeding up. We are here waiting with you :)
