Over 10,000 served!

Don't ya just want to write something, no matter if it is important or not, when you're bored and waiting on the next big bit of adoption news to report. All we have to tell is that we bought our airline tickets yesterday.

So I'm sitting here with this blog page, just thinking up the next story when I notice that our counter will soon hit the 10,000 mark. To clarify, that only means that it has been viewed 10k times, not that we have 10k friends or that 10k of you viewed it only once and never came back.

In this period of downtime, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has came here and read our little life's adventures. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to find out what we are up to. A special "Whoo-Hoo" to those of you that have commented on our blog from time to time! I remember when I went through military basic training and then officer candidate school how important and exciting it was to get mail...from anyone. It made my day and brightened the worst of times. The same holds true today. When we get a comment notification, Heidi and I want to be the first to open and post it, kind of like Christmas morning gift opening! Little things like that make our day! Thank you and please continue!

To the lurkers, you know who you are, Thank you for being there, too! We appreciate you! Lurking is OK, Heidi and I do it on other sites. Sometimes you just want to shop or read without anyone bothering you. I understand.

I once thought it would be fun to do a "roll call" sort of thing. You know, ask everyone who comes here to write their first name at least, along with their city and state, or country if you don't live in the US. Kinda like the names you see at a visitor book at events like weddings, hotels, etc. But that might put too much pressure on the lurkers, and I want you to keep coming back.

So until the next update on our adoption, help us keep our "counter people" in business by increasing those numbers. We will be sure to let you know if we get more news.
