A short, but nice break

We've enjoyed the month of July, mostly because we went to Carolina beach for a week and we haven't been thinking about adoption too much.

We had a blast at the beach...it went too quick!  We rode the waves on our boogie boards, played pool volleyball, kayaked in the canal, rode bikes to new places in the evening, and ate Britt's donuts everyday!

Waiting for the fireworks!

Having too much fun capturing our adventures on camera!

We've had a few contacts, but nothing came of them.  One contact was from Alabama who was about 14 weeks pregnant. We chatted online/via email with her for a few weeks, but she never could call into IAC.  She told us that she's decided to parent. Another was from OK who has an almost 12 month old.  Everything was taken from her when the tornados went through in May.  She too couldn't build up the courage to call into IAC and was a little all over the place.

We had 9 letters go out in June.

I completed my physical and we had our FBI fingerprints done.

SML starts work in 1.5 weeks!! She's getting anxious but excited! We've continued to really enjoy CrossFit and have made new friends.  We can see small changes in our bodies. :)

Well we move into month 20 of waiting....
