New this month:

We decided (finally) to head back to Peru for our adoption.

Brent's mammow is getting married today.

I am reading Job in my time with the Lord. It's interesting.

Earlier this month......

Ryder turned 2. He received ducks for his birthday from Brent and April. Seriously. Brent even made a duck house!

We had our 5 year anniversary. Now about that. When I was younger - I mean as in a teenager, I thought that when you had been married for 5 years that that was a very long time - in today's world it actually is a long time, but I apparently thought that you had a job or jobs that paid a lot of money and you could take a "second honeymoon" or travel to a very fancy place such as Hawaii, Europe if you were really lucky. I have no idea from who or where I got that idea, but it is so not true in our life. So our very fancy place turned out to be Nashville. We returned to the scene of the crime - the Parthanon on Vanderbilts' campus - this where Brent proposed to me. It was a bit crazy in Nashville. There was a came at Vandy later that day and the Celebration of Cultures festival was going on. It was pretty interesting. We had good time walking around the park and seeing the different cultures. We ate lunch at place Brent discovered when he and Tim went to Nashville for a youth minister's conference.

We will finish our homestudy on Tuesday! WHAT?!?! That's exciting! But there are probably going to be some changes in our adoption. The Lord has been doing somethings and I've been thinking and Brent and I have been talking. So we will see on Tuesday. Just pray. I am not the best deciphering what to do. I am as James describes as "a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." But I'm pretty confident in these changes. So updates will come!
