I was at Barnes and Noble getting my latest Book Club book (Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs) and of course I had to look at all the bargain stuff. I tend not to buy too many books as I get MORE than enough from my mom but I did find something neat.
I was looking through these bins that had 50% of stuff in them. There were books, games, stationary and other random stuff. Well, at first I didn't really find anything and then as I was heading towards the front to retrieve my hubby, I stopped at this one bin and decided to look.
Well, low and behold I found an AWESOME journal. I blog while here in the US but have been told that that might be difficult while in Ethiopia so I have been looking for a journal. This one is not too big, not too small, has lined pages and isn't too heavy. I love it already and I haven't even used it yet.
It is my goal to bring it with me EVERYWHERE I go in Ethiopia and to write down what I see, smell and feel at any given moment. It may be awhile before I get back to Ethiopia and since I may not be able to blog while there I don't want to forget a second. I know I will be on a schedule while there but I can write in the cars on the way to Hossana and at night before bed. No worries to family and friends that read the blog as I will translate my writing journal to my blog when I can. I may not share everything from journal but I will keep the journal so I can pass it on to my little one when they get older.
I know this may not make sense to some people reading this but I got so excited when I found this journal. It is perfect and will be so helpful to have along with me on the most amazing, emotional trip of my life.
No adoption news :( Families have gotten court dates and travel dates for July so hopefully as we get further into July we will start seeing some referrals.
