Distractions

When you are waiting for a referral, one of the most important things is the ability to distract yourself. Fortunately, Pete and I are easily distractable! While our jobs do a good job of keeping our minds occupied from 8-5, we have found other things to keep us busy during the rest of the time. Here are some of our favorites:

1. Home improvements- We have been doing some prepping and painting lately (most recently the future nursery)!
2. Wii- Our new favorite game... Rock Band! In case you are wondering, Pete's specialty is the guitar, while Gayle rocks out on drums and vocals.
3. Learning Español- We have started using Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish, and Gayle is taking a Spanish for Educators class through her school district.
4. Hanging out with friends- Last night we went to dinner with one of the waiting families we have met through our adoption agency. We had a blast! We know that the friendships we are making throughout this process are valuable and the connection we share (and our kids will share) is very special.
