No news is good news?

We hadn't heard anything from the adoption case worker until last Thursday. She told us they were still screening another family and we were still in the running. I saw that the "special situation" bulletin has been taken off their website so I am hopeful that this means things are progressing towards being presented to the birth mother. It would be nice to know either way.

It is funny, sometimes I feel so close to finally being a parent, then other times it seems like an unattainable thing. I don't mean that in an "I'm not worthy" sort of way but more in a "seems like a lot of variables out of my control" sort of way.

Life is getting hectic again with summer visitors, my summer job (which is supposed to be part time but always ends up being WAY more) and Paul is busy at work now too. We are looking forward to our camping trip in Idaho more than we ever thought we would when we booked it in February. I guess all this busyness is good for keeping our minds on other things. The baby's room is cleared out right now since my Aunts are coming to visit and I"m starting to get a clearer vision of how that room is going to be when it is occupied by a child! That is pretty exciting to consider.

I will certainly report more as we are informed.
