Still Waiting...

Wow, I knew this would be hard, but I didn't think it would be this hard. It's only been a week and a day since the CCAA received our Acceptance letters. I guess I was hoping for the best case scenario. Again, we are stilling waiting for a TA (travel approval) which can take one to four weeks to receive. Can you tell I'm a little impatient? Patience was never one of my strong points. LOL.

Strange thing is that things feel so calm. Usually we are so busy and running around with Jake's activities and whatnot. We've actually been home a little more. The one thing that is keeping us busy is Jake's baseball. He is playing for an all-star baseball team called the Collegeville Blue Sox. This is his second year playing for the team. The team practices two nights a week and plays either double headers on Sunday's or an all weekend tournament. Jake pitched two innings last Sunday against Fleetwood and he did a great job! He only walked one batter in two innings. At this age, the coach's only allow them to pitch so many pitches or innings so that they don't burn out their arms at a young age. They are playing their first tournament this weekend in Reading. They will play two games on Saturday and depending on how they do will depend on when and how many games they play on Sunday. We have to be in Reading by 7:15 AM Saturday morning. Don't these people believe in sleeping in a little on Saturday? Geesh, we have to get up earlier on Saturday than we do for work during the week. So crazy!

Dave and Jake put Rachel's stroller together last week. I forgot what it looked like since my shower was in March 2007. Actually, mom even bought the stroller much sooner than that! I almost forgot about all the wonderful things we received at my shower for Rachel. My family and friends gave me the most wonderful shower with a Chinese theme. I still recall every detail. The wonderful thing was that my mom and sister came up from North Carolina to share in the day which really meant a lot to me.

I'm still looking for some special artwork for Rachel's bedroom walls. I haven't seen anything that really caught my eye. I've tried looking online, but I'd really like to see it in person before making a commitment. I'm sure the right piece will come along.

I hope you all are enjoying this blog. I'm really enjoying sharing this journey with everyone. I know there isn't much going on at the moment, but hopefully I will have some great news to share with you when we receive our TA!

If you haven't posted a comment, please do. I love reading them and Rachel will one day too!

Love you all!
