I'm back!

I know it has been well over a year since I last posted. Much has changed since last April. Last November, David was offered a new position as a network administrator with his law firm. He was offered the job on November 9th and was to start on November 15th. After much prayer, he eagerly accepted it! This is the job that he has wanted for 4 years. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the job was in Austin. We immediately packed a bag for him and drove him to Round Rock on November 12th. He began his stay in Round Rock at our aunt and uncle's house while I finished out the semester at my school. I resigned in December and was able to join him in Round Rock. We lived in Round Rock until about 6 weeks ago and then we were able to move to our house in Buda, TX (15 miles south of Austin). We love it here....you get the small town feel with Austin only 15 miles away!

In adoption news...... since we moved we were required to redo all of our paperwork for Russia. About 3 weeks ago, our new social worker came to the house to update our home study. It went really well. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her. She lives close by and will be the social worker that will be working with us for our post adoption visits. Right now we have all of our paperwork updated and notarized. We are waiting on a few others to send us their reports and we can go the Secretary of State's office to get them apostilled (certified). From there the documents will go to Russia to be translated. Our paperwork has remained registered in Russia, but it needs to be updated before we can accept a referral. We have not lost our place in line!

This September, our paperwork has been in Russia for two years. We are trusting in God's timing for this process. Since David received a new job, I am now able to stay at home with our little one when she comes home. This has been our prayer all along and the Lord has answered!
