July Numbers!

We received our July numbers today. I am happy to report that several referrals went out last month and we are moving right along. We moved 7 spots on the girls list putting us at #:

This means we have moved exactly 40 spots since getting on the list in December. If you remember from last month our siblings number had actually increased. I am so happy to say that we moved 6 spots in June putting us at #

This number is especially sweet, because it is our half way point. We got on the list at #41 for siblings. I have been praying all month that our number would be 20 or 21. Hooray for answered prayers. Now, I am really hoping for a number in the teens next month!!

Also, just to remind you our parameters are 0-20 months for a girl and 0-24 months for sibling girls. Justin and I decided a few months ago that we would like to expand our parameters a little. After much prayer and several discussions with our case workers we have decided to change our parameters to 0-3 years for a girl and 0-3 years with at least one girl on the siblings list. Nothing is official yet. We will most likely wait until we update our home study to make these changes official. Our home study will have to be updated in November. We will let you know when these changes happen. We are so excited to see what God has in store for our family and who He has picked out for our us.

I have one more special number to share with you today. Justin and I have been married for 9 wonderful years today.
I am so thankful for my husband and the life we have together. I can't help but wonder what we will be doing next year for our tenth anniversary. Here's hoping our family is a little bigger by this time next year. =)
