Big update to the blog.

We realize that we haven't been updating the blog like we should. Life has been busy and is about to get a lot busier. We have taken further concrete steps toward adopting from China. This past Saturday (1/22/06), Matt sent off his passport application. We should have the passport back in 4-6 weeks. Over the weekend, we also made our adoption agency choice and have decided to adopt through Great Wall China Adoption. We put the finishing touches on the application late this afternoon after Matt got home from work. Julia is going to drop it at the post office this evening on her way to a Southern Living party at a friend's house. This is a really exciting day for us. The thought that within the next year we might be parents is both exhilarating and terrifying.
On the hobbies front, Julia has been doing a lot of scrapbooking and Matt has been doing a good bit of geocaching. We will add some new pictures of our doings in the coming days. We promise to do better about updating much more frequently.
