Yep, that's right. Finalizing an adoption and getting engaged at the same time. Traveling in August to pick up baby girl. And, getting married on November 21, 2009, at 1pm in Oklahoma City. And, finally, moving to New Haven/Hamden, Connecticut, after that. Wow! What a year 2009 will have been when it's all said and done.
Chris and I got engagement photos taken a couple days ago. Here are a few samples. More will be forthcoming within the next few weeks.



Encouraging Words
Psalm 27:13-14 NLT
Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Galatians 6:9 NKJV
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
