It's been a while since I've posted, so here's a quick update.
I did run the Marine Corp Marathon back in October. I was hoping that once I completed it, I would never want to run another, but unfortunately, it has only made me want to do it again. At this point I think I'll plan on running the same race again, aiming at a better time. I finished in approx 4:45 which was under my worst case scenario finish of 5:00 but longer than my hope of 4:30. I've thought about running a spring marathon, but it's too hard to find training time during the short, cold days.
The adoption process. Good things come to those who wait, so our girl(s) are going to be REALLY good. :) The people who are being matched with children right now have been waiting a little over 2 years. The wait time has been predicted to go as high as 4 years. (Our wait time started in May '07, so we're not even at a year yet...) There are a lot of variables...number of children made available, people dropping out of the program due to the wait time, the Olympics, etc. We will believe that God has called us to adopt from China, so we will hold fast until Julia and her sister come home, or until God leads us in another direction.
That's the news from the Egyuds for now.
Blessings,
Karen
