Waiting

It seems most of our life currently revolves around waiting. Justin is waiting to hear back from a few more graduate programs before we make our final decision about where we will be going next year. So far, it is still looking like L.A. (which we love)! Laura is busy applying for jobs in the L.A. area and waiting to hear back. Most of the jobs she is applying for are Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapist positions working with children who have autism spectrum disorders. So we are just waiting for things to fall into place so we can pursue looking for housing more vigorously.

AND we are waiting for our little niece to come home from Ethiopia! Laura's oldest sister Lisa and her husband Travis are adopting a 5 month old girl from Ethiopia. We are so excited for them, and cannot wait to meet sweet little baby E! Praise Jesus for those chubby little cheeks!

Smokie Aoki is blissfully unaware that major changes are in store for him. He has severe separation anxiety, and does not do well with changes (meaning he gets uncontrollable diarrhea.......)(I know you are glad we shared that with you). We are hoping that once he figures out that his little stick legs don't have to deal with snow or temperatures of 30 below that he will be appeased.
