Hi ho! Hi ho! It's back to Kaz we go!

September 18th!!! This is the day we leave. Renewed... renewed passion for this calling, renewed energy for the travel, renewed excitement for the first day, renewed hope... that we will meet our baby this time.
Meanwhile...
-We still haven't painted the baby room because we still don't know if we will have a little girl or a little boy. I have anxious siblings ready with the paint brushes while we are gone.
-Brad turned a year older... and we were actually in country to celebrate.
-I will turn a year older... although, I'm saying that Sunday is a LONG time away because it's the big 30! Whoa!
-We are about to celebrate 5 years of being married! September 13th... That's exciting.
What a year! 2008 has been a great year for us (and it is only August)!
Keep checking back... one more big change to be announced... (probably several posts before we get to that point, but... keep reading).
More soon! Don't forget to keep us in your prayers.... I know I've said it before, but I can't stress how much your prayers have been felt in our lives.

still waiting

So, just in case you are waiting for an update... we are still at home. Current plans are still to return to Kaz mid to end September. Most of our forms expire this month, so we are currently busy doing paperwork. We will definitely post a blog as SOON as we hear anything so that all will know. Please keep praying for us. We are so desperately hoping to meet our baby on our next trip. We have no idea if it will be a baby girl or a baby boy, we just can't wait to hold our baby in our arms.
We plan on blogging again the next time that we travel... we are counting on you all to continue with the comments. :)
STAY TUNED...

Home sweet home

Wow...it's great to be home. The bed...nice. The shower...nice. American food...nice.



Thanks to everyone that has been supporting us through this, and watching the blog. It looks like we'll be coming back to Kaz around the middle of September to start this process over again. That means more time (and money), but we're holding on to the thought that it'll be all worth it when we're holding our baby.



Love you all,



Brad and Steph

FYI...

Someone told us yesterday that it got up to 50 degrees celsius here. That may not mean anything to you, but that converts to 122 degrees f!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were seriously considering buying some eggs and frying them on the sidewalk.

We also considered skinny dipping in the fountain in the middle of town just like all of the local kids. ;-)

Monday!!!

So, we are going to be home on Monday! We are excited, yet sad... can't wait to see everyone, but are missing the one thing that we thought we would come home with. Please just keep praying for us in the next few months because we'll probably be coming back here soon and we are hoping for much better results... like our baby. :) Anyway... see you all soon. BTW... Nancy... I'll load up the Snickers for you! Love you all and see you soon!
