November
Well, the speed up came to a screeching halt!!! It looks like this month CCAA only matched 2 days taking us to February 17th.... Yikes! We are still hopeful that we will hear something this spring and travel this summer. Stay hopeful with us!!!
Our new home is for sale in Phoenix and we are going to move back to Tempe as soon as it sells. We are trying to stay positive in these trying times!!! Heard any good jokes lately?!?!?
The good news we have this month is that our log in date ( March 22) was mentioned on the projections chart on that website that I get all my China adoption information. Keep in mind that we have been moving at the "Spr 2008 Small" column on this chart. But at least we make it!!! If you notice, if there is a speedup to the "Bad Case" Senario... we may hear news sometime this February!!! Doubtful but still hopeful!!!

October
Well, the referrals took a little longer this month, but only 29 days... That's not bad. The CCAA is now through February 15, 2006 in matching families. March 22, 2006 here we come!!!!
Based on a recent poll that was done, on that website we frequent, we are figuring we're about 5 months from referral. That brings us to spring. We really need the time to resettle ourselves, anyway!
Everything happens for a reason. Right? Sometimes it is just hard to figure what that reason is....
We are selling our lovely large home, too far away and too large home, and moving back into our home in Tempe. Unfortunately, it is not the home we left!!! Scott has been spending every day there degrossing it, yes that is an official term!!! We have to gut and repair the master bath and paint it a pretty shade of yellow!!!! Then it will be livable!!!
We have been exposed to the greedy, corporate, ugly side of life, are a little stunned and scared, but have learned a lot. We confirmed, through the experiences of the past year or so, that our family and friends are most important to us and that we are not materialistic at all!!! We want our lives to be small, happy and honest. We want to raise our children that way too!!! It is our ultimate goal to get back to that and stay there!!!!!

August Update
CCAA Status Babies have been placed with forever families through: January 31, 2006
Remeber our log in date is March 22, 2006
So... It took 3 months for CCAA to get through the January dates. It would be nice if that meant 6months until our match but... March is a month that had a lot of log in dates so... realistically it could be 9months to 1 year still (unless there is a unexpected speed up after the Olympics). We're in the homestretch!!!!
I went back to work two weeks ago and OMG I am stressed. It is starting to get a little easier but, getting my room organized, learning new programs, names, etc. has had me in a whirlwind of stress and not sleeping well. Unfortunatly, it didn't take long for Scott to become the same way with his crazy job after vacation.
Thank God for the Olympics so there is at least a television diversion! How about the opening ceremony!!!! Incredible!!!! NBC is going to sell the DVD starting in September. I think I'll definatly get one!!!
Until Next Month!!!!

July Update
Our trip to Montana was incredible. It was filled with tons of love from family, friends and mother nature. We consider ourselves tremendously blessed that we have had these experiences.
