Well, I have to admit...when we started this blog...and we started our journey to international adoption 334 days ago, we thought we'd be in an entirely different place by now. Literally and figuratively. We thought we'd be packing for a trip to Nepal over the holidays this year. (Sadly, I have continued to use the idea that we'd be in Nepal over the holidays to avoid Christmas shopping...) Well, we're packing, but not for Nepal. We've decided to take a trip to Costa Rica to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. (If we haven't recieved word by April, which obviously I hope isn't the case, I'm hankering for a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon.) Don't get me wrong - I'd trade it all in to go meet our baby! But, we're also not going to stop living. It will happen. And it will happen in the right time. And in the mean time, we're going to Costa Rica. Hasta luego.
Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal during this turbulent time.
Namaste for now.

The only way to stay sane is to keep living! During our first adoption that took 3 times longer than we anticipated, we went on lots of trips and I'm so glad we did! You'll never regret the things you do to keep busy before your baby comes home, but you will regret if you pass things by "because you might be in Nepal then." Worst case scenario-- you lose some money on a pre-planned vacay because you're in Nepal-- that is the best worst case scenario I can think of!! :) Blessings as you wait, and may it not last too much longer!
Have a wonderful time in Costa Rica. I will think positive thoughts for you, and will continue to check in here regularly. I really enjoy your blog.
If you have never been to Costa Rica, you are in for a treat. It is a wonderfully beautiful place and people are warm and kind. I spent 6 months there and did not want to leave. You are on the right track in handling the wait, keep on living and enjoying each other and trust in time. Thanks for the reminder on that ;-). Best to you.
That sounds like a wonderful plan--you do have to find things to occupy yourself during the interminable wait that is Nepal adoption. Here's to good news upon your return!
Agree completely! Costa Rica will be exactly what you need. We fell in love last year with the place :) Enjoy! And happy anniversary!
Enjoy Costa Rica. Hopefully, the sun and the sand will make this other 'journey' seem like it is far away. Happy anniversary!
