No News

The busyness of life really has a way of cutting into my blogging time... so here's a quick summary of what's going on now.

• There hasn't been any news on the adoption front, but we didn't expect any this soon, so we're still feeling okay (not that we aren't still praying earnestly for an early/quick referral!). Each day we get a little closer, and that's exciting!
• I'm finishing up the last grad class that I need to get my ELL endorsement... only two weeks left!
• Don and I are both busy with our jobs, but thankful to have them! And thankful that we both have careers that we really enjoy!
• I finally finished a project I had wanted to work on for the past year- a picture wall gallery in our living room. I did it while Don was in China.

Here are some before and after pictures... please excuse the fact that there aren't real pictures in most of the frames... it took a year to get the frames up and it will probably take another six months to get the pictures in!

Plain and boring

Plain and boring from this angle, too

Now, a cool focal point

And a place to share special memories...
