Football Season

So, sorry it has been awhile since I have done a journal entry. Life has been busy which is good. The wait has sometimes been very difficult so we try and keep our days full. Thank God for football!! We both love it! Rich is more into College football and I am an NFL fan. I sometimes hate to admit it but I am a true die hard Seahawk fan. We both enjoy spending our Sunday's at home watching NFL football and getting household chores done. Fantasy football has made it even more fun. We do realize that these lazy Sunday's will come to end and after 23 years together we are looking forward to a "crazy and noisey" Sunday as a family. GO SEAHAWKS!!

Another Group of Matches

It is that time of month that CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) matches families to babies (referrals). I was very disappointed that they only matched through Nov. 30th. 2005. Everyone had hoped that it would at least go through December 5, 2005. However, I was told by our adoption agency CCAI (Chinese Children Charities Agency) that they don't have any families with LID (Log-In-Date) between Dec. 1st through Dec 5th. So, hopefully we are still ok. So, Rich and I are just "patiently" waiting......

My goal was to have our child before I turned 40 but I guess God had another plan as I am turning 40 on Oct. 9th. The ultimate optismist that I am I just figure this is how it was meant to be and when it is right our child will come.

In the Beginning........

Where to start? I guess we should start in the beginning. Rich and I have been together "FOREVER" as my family would say. Not really forever but a long time. My brother-in-law always jokes that we met while riding our big wheel tricycles. Not quite the way it happened but I did see the love of my life while riding my bike past his house in the 8th grade. It was all history after that. We became a serious item in 1984 and together ever since. Our life consisted of college,work and play. Marriage was always an after thought. Finally to the relief of our family, we married Sept. 1st, 1997. We purchased a home and now share our life with Vern, our dog, and Lexie, our siamese kitty. We are all waiting to bring home our precious child.
We invite you to share in our journey to bring our child home from China. Please remember to keep an open mind and heart when reading our blogs. The spelling and grammer may not be correct but we want you to enjoy it with laughter, sometimes tears of happiness and most of all love.
We love you all!! Here we go.....
Terri and Rich
Your parents are waiting to love you!
