Progress!

It's been 15 months since we first tore out the bathroom. I finally have some 'mirrors' and a 'vanity'! Wait until you see my oversized potty! It may not look like progress to most of you, but after 15 months as a storage closet I'm so happy to have it cleared out. We have a fan and light in the shower area too (no wires or anything). If we keep at this pace we should be done by 2015. It should be a good distraction as we just wait once our application is accepted.

It's time to get started!

For a person who can barely use a cell phone, I'm pretty impressed with myself for setting up my own blog page! (Okay, Harvey helped, but only a little). We're excited to be started on this journey to Korea for our second child. After looking into China and Taiwan and hitting roadblocks, Korea was presented to us. Taiwan made so much sense...but with that option closed for now, Korea began to excite us. Now we are hooked! Today we received a call from our agency that Korea has approved our pre-application. It finally feels like we are on our way with the adoption. Now we are on to a new pile of papers for the actual application. Since we have already completed our homestudy, many of the new forms are repeats. So it's back to the doctors...

This is going to be a long journey, but lots will be going on in the meantime. Hope you'll check in to see any adoption news, what our Ryan is up to, how the new bathroom is progressing (may take longer than the adoption), and any other fun things I think of to share!
