Hey,
Wow it has been a looong time since I have posted anything. Basically what happened was about 3/4 of the way through our long orentation at Gladney my brain said ok that's enough and shut down. I was completly miserable to Chris and was not really excited to talk about it. I know I was just so overwhelmed. And there was that weird aspect that we are so close to getting what we have prayed and wanted for so long that it is kind of scary! What strange creatures we are.

Anyway, I am back on track and super excited. A lot has been happening in the past few weeks. I was just offered a job at Wake Forest Medical Center! Full-time, benefits... I will be scheduling patients for the vascular lab. I am so sad to leave my job at Penney's (I works with the best people) and will miss seeing "my boys" a few times a week (although I see a lot of pool trips and macaroni picnics in the future). But this is awesome news for our family. It is another answered prayer.

Hmm, now that I am back I have so much to say I don't know where to begin. Well first off Gladney is AWESOME!! I am so amazed by their agency and so proud to become a part of the "Gladney Famliy". It has been a bumpy road from Uganda to Ethiopia, to end up in TX! And although I am sure we have some bumps ahead I am so grateful God led us here.

I came out of there (albeit a little crazy) with a totally changed heart and perspective for the birth mothers. I will not go into detail bc I think this deserves its own post. Let's just say when we walked into the room and there were tissue boxes on every table all the women looked at each other and said "oh no"! And I will point out that they were heavily used. At least by the women.

Glad to be back. More to follow.
