In the past 2 years I have not posted one single time on the blog, but I have accomplished a lot both
personally and professionally.
March 2013 I accepted a transfer into the recruiting
office at my company. This puts me in a role where I can grow and in a field
that I love.
May 2013 I graduated with my MBA. I would never have
accomplished this without my amazing husband who supported me the whole way. It
might not have been with a 4.0 but I did it and am so glad I did.
June 2013 I was asked to become the district president for
my sorority. It is a two year term. I started in July and am working with 11
alumnae chapters in two states.
December 2013 I passed The PHR certification test. This really helps me stand out in my job and
prepare me for the next job. So yes I
finally have initials after my name.
Last month I was nominated to serve on the local HR
board. The elections will be next month but this shows how my name is getting
out in the community. This is very
exciting.
Life is good. Life is really good. BUT. Something is
still missing.
I made my list of goals and the only one I have not
checked off is expanding my family. We put this off while I was in school. It
was just a little too crazy. Once I finished school we were not on the same
page. See, expanding the family for us
is not as easy as some. We knew after
the first pregnancy that we would not grow our family through traditional
means.
March 2014 I asked B if he was ready and he was. He asked
about me and my answer was I am ready for the next step.
I think it is easy to get caught up in the end result and
not what is here and now. We decided at
that point that we would start on our adoption journey and when God told us to
stop we would stop. I have a different philosophy than most on this. Most say they will move when God says move. I
say I will do what God asks and if he wants me to stop then I'll stop. See God
has called us to help the orphans. Why do we need Him to tell us again.
In March we started taking an adoption class for 10
weeks. We graduated in June. Had the final home study September 12th and are
officially on the waiting list.
Mission bring home Baby!
