Sister-in-Laws Wedding

Just wanted to let everyone know we are now at #6! We've made it halfway from where we started just over 2 months ago!

Do Something Now

This is a song my mom used to play and sing when I was about 5 or 6 years old. For years I have thought about the lyrics of this song but had no idea what it was called-my mom couldn't even remember playing it. I still remember how I felt everytime I heard it. When Joel and I started discussing adoption and what countries to consider these lyrics ("down in Ethiopia, the children are crying") kept coming to my mind even though I hadn't heard the song in probably 20 years.
Warning-this video is very 80's :)

Guess what came in the mail today??

Joel called me on his cell phone as he was leaving for work and said there is something in the mail box you might want to see. He had to go on and leave because he was running late (as usual:)) but I stayed on the phone with him. As soon as I saw the envelope from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services I knew what it was. I didn't want to open it outside because it was raining (like it has been for the past week:() so I started running into the house and then I fell - and the letter and my phone went flying through the air.
Miraculously the letter was unharmed:)
Anyway, it says "It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphans or orphans as defined by section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act." It also says that "your advance processing applicaton has been forwarded to the American Consulate or Embassy at : Addis Ababa Ethiopia via the national visa center."
So exciting!!! Now if we could just move up another spot (or 7) on the list Mothers Day wouldn't be so bad:D
