Malone and I recently celebrated our birthdays. I'm 23 and hubs is 26. We're feeling old! Malone made me dinner, and gave me my favorite candy and Wii Fit! He spoils me. I'm so loving the game! Even if it tells me I'm old and "unbalanced." (This is referring to my coordination, not my mental stability! :P) I treated Malone to dinner at A&W and gave him Ticket to Ride Europe, Madagascar 2, new shoes, and his favorite candy. We also threw ourselves a big birthday bash and a bunch of our family and friends showed up! Thanks guys, it was crazy but fun!
On the adoption front, we are still waiting... and waiting... and waiting... Seriously, we haven't really had a problem with impatience through this whole process. But this is the most frustrated we've been. All that's holding our approval back is waiting on a signature. This is three weeks of waiting that we haven't been shown to potential birth mothers because of a little signature. Argh... I know we can't force things to go any faster, but now that we're so close we're just wanting it to happen NOW! I almost feel an urgency in the pit of my stomach. I'm really trying to be patient. But it is super hard. Our caseworker said she's hoping to have it done by the end of this week. Hopefully she pulls through for us! She's been really great so far, so we can only hope this trend will continue. Then we'll be off like a shot getting the word out! Do any of you have suggestions for how to endure this?

It took us weeks to get our approval letter to. Part of the problem was our home study was just before Christmas. Our caseworker took a 2 weeks off for that, then his supervisor was sick, then our caseworker was sick, than the other guy took a vacation. I just wanted to scream! I hope it really happens for you this week. I think celebrating a birthday just makes it harder to wait. It's an actually acknowledgment that we are a year older and nothing has changed since our last birhtday.
Waiting is awful, I am sorry. Heres hoping it comes really soon.
Sounds like you had fun birthdays, I can't believe you are only 23, for some reason I always had you pinned as being my age. Mind tricks I guess. And I totally agree, the Wii Fit rocks!!!
It took about 2-3 months to get our final background check results back from Montana and apparently the whole time they had just been completed, just filed incorrectly. That was very frustrating but there's nothing you can do about it so you just keep waiting. Hopefully your signature won't take that long and you'll be online soon!
