Our first year anniversary of our LID was February 6th. So why am I writing about it three days later? Well, the truth is that this momentous day came and went with barely a passing thought. At one point I said, "Hey, you know what day it is?"
David sighed. "Yeah. One year."
We nodded in unison. I said, "Can you believe it?"
We just left it at that. We weren't in a mood to... well, what does one do for this day? Celebrate? We didn't feel much like celebrating. Yeah, it's a milestone and yes, each day brings us closer to Referral Day and travel to China. That's good, I guess.
The truth is, we just weren't too excited about this anniversary. We acknowledged it and moved on with our lives.
Kind of sums up how life has been in this long wait. We probably have another eight months before referral, and that's if we're lucky. We're committed to being in the moment, and not living for the future. Right now, that feels right.
Not sure how I got to this zen place or how long I'll stay here. Next cappuccino will probably change everything!!

I still acknowledge the anniversaries (find excuse to spend money is more like it) but overall am in the zen place too. I don't hang in tortured wait of the CCAA cut-off date these days. Can't change it so I do my best to roll with it.
Still, I'll be happy if we're home with our kiddos by this time next year!
Congrats on the LIDiversary and zen place!
I can understand where you are at, but I am excited for you! You are getting closer and it will be glorious!
Hey Nina, a belated, not so happy anniversary... I know what what you mean. Whoopee, another what 9 mos to referral...more time to for us to reflect on the things we should be doing now, but, knowing me, I'll be waiting the last minute for everything - hope everyone is well, cheers
