Marching forward...

My blog is called Road to adopt, because I know it is a long road. It is not some short kind of one-way-street, but rather a highway with a lot of traffic and a lot of cars coming and going in both directions. These cars are carrying all the information that is going back and forth. And hopefully one day the road will come to an end and we will reach our goal. But it can take a long time...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last night by filling out our adoption application. My husband actually suggested it and you can imagine how fast I was running to get it. Normally I am the one that is trying to push him to do things... And he can get really annoyed by it. We disclosed all our information, our health history, our finances, everything... We picked friends to serve as a reference and have to ask a few of them before we can send out our paperwork. We will take an online pre-adoption class this week-end and then two more classes in the next two months. Hopefully by then our home study process can begin. I can't wait for it to happen...

Another year down the road

Today is our third Wedding Anniversary. I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a great husband. He is amazing and I love him more every single day.

When I was younger I used to date guys that were not so much into me. It gave me a lot of heartache. But more than four years ago when I met my husband, it was different. He really liked me from the start. I wasn't sure at the beginning, because he was so different from all the crazy guys I have dated. But then I completely fell in love with him and I still don't know how it happened. It was like a light in my brain that was switched on.

He is the most amazing person ever. He is my best friend and he has a great sense of humor, which is so important in every relationship. Even when I am mad at him, it takes him 3 seconds to make me laugh. He has the most beautiful big brown eyes you have ever seen. He is very faithful and started a relationship with God at only 5 years old. I am learning from him every single day. He makes me a better person. The last three years haven't been easy with us moving overseas from Europe to the US, buying a house, starting new jobs, my Dad and his Mom being really sick (my Dad had a stroke two years ago and his Mom was dealing with breast cancer last year) and - the most painful of all - dealing with endometriosis and two surgeries as well as the pain of infertility. These three years haven't been easy and I guess a lot of couples would have separated by now with everything we have been through. But I believe that it has actually made us stronger. We have been through so much, we can do nearly everything...

Happy anniversary, honey!!!
