Ready, Set, Print!

Today was a busy day, I finally finished all the nit-picky editing of our adoption album and uploaded it for printing! It was hard for me to click that final "I accept" button because I can be such a perfectionist when it comes to these kinds of projects...even more so with this one. BUT...I have to remember that this album isn't about being perfect, it's about us being who we are, nothing more and nothing less. That's so much easier to say than to actually believe though!

So anyway...for better or worse...the thing is in the process of being printed so it's final. We should have the album in our hands by next week sometime, and then we'll be able to hand it off to Elly and enter the pool! I'm excited, but nervous a little too. The thought of being in the pool, and just waiting for who knows how long, is unsettling. At least up until this point we've had things to do to prepare and the ball has (mostly) been in our court. Not so with waiting to be chosen. Suddenly relinquishing all aspects of control over this whole process seems scary. In saying that, I'm sure it will all work out in the end. I may be somewhat of a control freak, but I've also learned to be patient over these past several years. I guess I'll just have to practice those skills.

I'm done for tonight...
