Everyone enjoy my new blog

Just to let everyone know this blog will be private. It is meant to be for our friends and family. If you would like an invitation please email me.

Hello,
I know everyone has been waiting for the day I create a new blog for Jacob or I at least update Cantwaitforkate.com. I have finally gotten inspired to go for it. I still will keep Kate's blog because we have not given up hope that we will travel to China. As most of you know we have taken a detour! In July we decided to change Countries and check out Vietnam. We finally got some luck with our adoption journey and received a referral for a baby boy Jacob Oliver Apple. He is currently in Northern Vietnam and is almost seven months old. We are waiting for our I600 to be approved so we can go pick him up. Unfortunately, Vietnam does not allow pictures of the baby to be posted until our adoption is final. Take my word for it, he is beautiful! He looks like he is a big baby and has fat chubby cheeks. I will post more later. I wanted to let everyone know I am finally back up and running.

I have finally gotten all my fabric together and organized the way that I want it. I sent everything off to my aunt and Paducah and she is nice enough to put it togther for me. When I laid everything out in the floor it was Queen size but when she is done I don't know how big it will actually be. Here are a few pics of the order I picked.

I've been a bad blogger, I know. I don't have much to report on the adoption front, good things come to those who wait. Honestly, I'm tired of hearing people tell me that. As I write this Ken and I just watched Barry Bonds break baseball history. The only reason I mention this is because that is all I have heard him talk about for a week so I am glad it is finally over hahaha.
I was hoping we would take one more trip before summer ended but everything has gone too fast.
Ken has a birthday in a couple of weeks so don't forget!!
We just passed our 9 month Log in date and referrals came out earlier this week for the week of Nov. 14-21 2005. China sucks! They are so slow it is getting irritating. We try and keep ourselves busy and try not to concentrate too much on it, though it usually comes up in conversation somewhere once a day. I do know of a couple of people who are getting referrals so I am happy for them.
I just wanted to check in and let everyone know we are still here!

Hope everyone had a great 4th! Ken and I went to the Bahamas a couple of weeks ago to his sister Suzanne's wedding. Here are a few pics. We stayed at Atlantis and had a great time and great food. Things have been busy this summer, I will try and do better about posting. Have a good weekend!

Wish 99 This wish is from Betty and Lane. They are my cousin Connie's parents. I was touched Betty sent this I didn't even think she knew about this.


Wish 100!! An old friend, Gina from high school sent this to me. Her last name starts with a T and we sat with each other all through high school (alphabetical order). Gina is a definite girly girl and this fabric fits her perfect. Wish 101 Betsy Paty my favorite cousin. Betsy and I went to college together and she sent me a t shirt that I wore all the time. I still can't believe she has held on to it all this time. We spent many nights watching movies all night long.
Wish 102 Corie Martin, Nashville Tn soon to be Woodburn, Ky. Corie is my adopted big sis in our sorority. She really helped me through my first year at Western.
Wish 103 Tracy Dyer Bowling Green, Ky Tracey and Randall are friends of ours and her daughter picked her favorite color.

I finally made it to 100 wishes!! Thanks to everyone who helped me accomplish this. I am still working on ideas for the quilt and actually will need more than 1oo squares. I am still getting some in the mail so for now it is still an ongoing project.

Today is our 7th month log in month. Referrals should be out soon for Nov. 2005. Hopefully it will be a good batch:) If you want to keep up on rumors for China check out www.chinaadopttalk.com, the rumor queen is pretty knowledgeable. I don't know where she gets her info but she has sources all over the world.

My friend from College, Jennifer is in labor tonight as I type this. She was induced this afternoon so hopefully it won't be too long of a labor.

I have more fabric to post not much just a couple of pieces. If you haven't mailed me anything yet you can still do it.

I will post some pics tomorrow.
