Adoption venting!

Allow me a moment to just vent. On August 21 or 22 I email Brian at Holt, our agency, to find out about the status of our progress. I wanted to know if there was anything that David and I need to be working on etc. I also wanted some clarification on our Letter of Confirmation, other families were making reference to LOA (Letter of Acceptance)and I wanted to know if the two were one of the same. His response to me was, "Yes it is and you should expect to receive it in two to four weeks." OK, the four week mark was 9/11 and we are still waiting. I know that waiting is part of the process, but I find it a little frustrating when someone tell you that something will happen in a certain time and it doesn't happen. David said, "He should have just said, 'You will get it when you get it.' that would have been better." I say all of this of course because I am looking into my son's eyes every time I turn on my computer and with each glance I grow more impatient. Maybe I should change my wallpaper. I will change it to something with mountains or a stream. Hey that reminds me,(total subject change)David and I saw a pretty good movie the other day. It was called Catch and Release. It was a love story that takes place in Boulder Colorado where the main characters are typical outdoor guys. The scenery is really beautiful. Watching the movie really got me wanting to start camping again and enjoying the great outdoors. Since marriage I have become more of an indoor girl, but from time to time the nature loving, fishing, camping girl wants to emerge. I see the same characteristics in Amelia and this makes me want to go all the more. So here is my trip. I haven't run this my David yet, but I am sure that he will be OK with it. We are going to buy a pop up camper and drive to Yellow Stone National Park and camp, hike and fish for a week. Now doesn't that sound like fun?
Well I guess I better close. I have a kitchen to clean,laundry to do and a cake to bake.

Here's to Dreaming,

Jenny
