When we last left our heroine she was in the midst of a bunch of bad news and not looking forward to working overnight on Saturday, thus canceling her weekend trip. Well, readers, good news came on Friday! Crisis averted at work and I left SA at 1 pm for Austin! I had a fabulous weekend and feel quite refreshed. We had good food, good drinks, dinner with friends, family cooking time, shopping, and an enjoyable church sermon. Good times were had by all!
One of the several conversations I had with my sister was how bad I felt about my adoption process. I'm normally a pretty optimistic person, but this wait and lack of progress has been quite frustrating. After a positive update from my agency (referrals are coming in the next 1-2 months!) and a change in perspective, I feel much better about things. Yay! With a 12-18 month wait I have 6-12 months left. I'm going to start looking at the "this is the last time" or "next year I'll have a child". It feels much better than "no referrals yet". Now, I realize that 12-18 months is a guesstimate and things happen in IA, but a positive attitude feels much better than moping.
I hope everyone's weekend was as enjoyable as mine! Happy Independence Day!

Did you get much rain? I'm glad you had a relaxing vaca! It is fun to start realizing "this time next year" you'll have a baby in tow! It's true, it really will happen!
I'm SO glad to hear that you are feeling better about things. A sweet sister and a few days in Austin work wonders!
