So, to catch you up on the big points in the last four years...
- We left Ethiopia and decided that, instead of returning to Winnipeg, we wanted to move to Toronto.
- We moved to TO in the fall of 2014. This is a big city!!
- Jeff got a job and then a different one and then did something different and is now a technology researcher.
- I got a job teaching adults math and physics (real over simplification!) and this was pretty awesome!
And, hopefully in a couple weeks or so, the next bullet point on that list will be
- We became foster parents!
We are on the precipice of a pretty huge change in life! To become a foster parent (also called a resource family) in Ontario, there are a lot of classes, meetings and information to process. We're at the tail end of that and are just waiting for the final report to be written and a final home inspection. Assuming that we are approved, we're hoping to have kids join our family sometime this fall. (As fits with my personality, I want this to happen sooner than later, preferably next week :) )
Some day, I'll write about learning to deal with waiting.... and waiting..... (maybe when I've figured out how to do it better!) and I'll write more details about the process for anyone interested, but today I just wanted to share my excitement. I get to be a mom, everyone!!!! Do you know how awesome that is?! I put the final touches on our kids room this week and, as I saw it come together with kids books on the dressers and stuffies in the corner, my soul sighed and said "finally."
Stay tuned! I'm going off Facebook soon so this blog will be my primary publicly accessible face.
