7th November 2011 - A present and Jack

     We have had a wonderful week away at an amazing modern restored cabin in the rural countryside of Somerset. For the most part it was really beautiful weather and we were totally relaxed. We had not heard anything back from Bethany since going to the Post Office in late October, and to be honest didn't really know what the next steps were other than waiting. The ability to wait is an important trait to possess but my how difficult it can be. We all know what it's like on December 20th, the gifts are under the tree but Christmas is still almost a week away and all you can do is look and wait for the 25th. Or maybe you've had the awful experience of a potential employer calling you back about a job, but at that point your only job is to wait until they call, my how that can be tough. We expect that there will be some waiting involved in this adoption process, good things come to those who wait or so the saying goes. Such is the point where we are at presently as Jack Johnson wrote just sitting, waiting, wishing, not exactly our situation but hey at least those lyrics work.
