And so it began...with the help of destiny and a lot of faith

So.  A blog.  A lot of waiting parents have them, and I wasn't sure about starting one, but thanks to a little convincing, here I go. 

Our story started 10 years ago when I first met my husband, Gregg.  At the end of our first (blind!) date, he asked me if I was really serious about a relationship and if I wanted kids one day - because he really did.  Well, he pretty much had me hook, line, and sinker right there.  Two months later we were engaged, and two years after that we were married.  We both believed it was our destiny to be together.

I will never forget the morning of our ceremony.  I went to church with my father, and the priest who was going to say the wedding Mass mentioned that I was there and would be married that afternoon.  After the Mass a woman came up to me and told me she prayed that I would have lots of babies - so when the sextuplets came, I should remember her!  Little did either of us know there was a huge twist of fate coming.  Two months after we were married, I found out by fluke that I couldn't have kids biologically, and thus began our adoption adventure.

Over the last seven and a half years we have dealt with health problems (his and mine), country shut downs and now...Now we are 17 months, 2 weeks, and 6 days into our wait for a child from the Philippines.  This is an amazing program we wish we had become involved with sooner.  It is an ideal fit for us, and we cannot wait to meet our child.  This blog will chronicle the rest of our wait to meet our child (hopefully not too much longer!) and bringing him/her home to us. 

Thanks for coming along for the ride!
