Catching up!

It has been a few weeks since I posted last, so I thought I would take a minute to update...

Travis had his cornea transplant about 2 weeks ago. It went well and the doctor says that it appears to be healing well. Travis has already noticed an improvement in his vision. He went back to work last week. He says that he is having a difficult time there because it is hard to stare at a computer screen all day, but he is adjusting.

As for me, I am so excited to see the school year winding down. I took all of my 8th graders files to the high schools this past week...that is a sign that it really is almost over. It has been a very difficult year and it will be nice to have a few weeks off. I start ESY (basically summer school) with my students on June 15 and go until July 9. It is only 3 hours a day/4 days a weeks, so it's not too bad.

As far as our adoption goes, nothing has changed. The past few weeks have been really hard on me. Travis is so strong. I ask him often if he ever gets discouraged about the whole situation. He says he does, but he is really good about being strong for me. It sometimes feels like it is never going to happen. It is frustrating because my whole life all I have ever wanted is to be a mom. I know we haven't been waiting very long, and that there are couples that wait much longer, but I am not, nor have I ever been a patient person. When I decide I want something, I want it now. I am just trying to figure out what Heavenly Father is trying to teach us and what we can gain from this trial. We continue to pray and have faith that it will happen and take it one day at a time.

Tomorrow is Travis and my 3rd Anniversary. It is crazy to think about it. It seems like we have been together so much longer. It feels like he has always been in my life. He is my best friend and I love him so much!
