Well tonight, Tony and I have a BIG DATE. This is one we've anticipated for a while but we're a bit apprehensive too. Why you ask? Well, this BIG DATE we have planned tonight will be shared in bed....but hey....hold your horses. Don't get carried away. This training will be in bed with two laptops as we go over our online Hague Training for the adoption. Hague Training...that doesn't even sound sexy or appealing, right???
If you're not too familiar with adoption lingo, let me brief you on this one really quick. For prospective adoptive parents, one of the requirements is approximately 10 hours or preparatory training and education on inter country adoption. From what I've heard from other adoptive families, this training is far from a walk in the park. In fact, some have labeled the training as depressing and even feel that it paints a bleak picture of international adoption. Although that's some feedback we've received so far, we'll share our thoughts after we take it.
So, we'll see how things go on our big date over the computer tonight. Hopefully, love will be in the air...maybe our love tonight will be focused more on baby girl instead of quick stolen glances at each other over the lids of our laptops. In the meantime, while you wait, here's a little computer tribute from Zapp & Roger to those babies from the 1980's who enjoy R&B music as I do....remember when this was hot! Uh-oh...I'm showing my age now!!!

Just saw your fundraiser thermometer!!! YAY! You worked hard for that! I am so excited for you. :)
Thanks so much! I didn't know that anyone besides me paid attention to that! I've really appreciated you rooting me on along the way. Time for me to hop on over to your bloggy world to see what's happening!
Hey! Enjoy your big date night! :) May not be the best entertainment material, but it will get you focused on your baby angel! Jeff and I felt a bit overwhelmed at first, after going through all the training......until we thanked God for the wisdom and understanding and gave our son and our family to Him (again)! We all need reminders to not worry and cast our cares onto Him, don't we!?!? Best to you and yours ~
Smile. That's great advice Debb!
BTW: I've been meaning to tell you that I absolutely love the photo of your and your honey on your blog.
