Driver's License

On my way to the baby shower today, I plan to stop and have my photo taken for a new driver's license. They are renewed every 4 years here in PA, and I moved to PA in 1996. Here's the ironic thing. Presuming that we move sometime in the next few months (ideally we'd move in May or June before our daughter is born), my driver's license will be incorrect for most of the four years it's valid. I'll be needing to also carry one of those change of address cards in my wallet along with the license. This means that from April 2000-March 2012 my license would have been accurate for only about 15 months as I moved in January 2001 (9 months after renewing my license) and July 2004 (3 months after renewing my license). My license from 2000 was incorrect both with name and address (as I also got married in 2001); at least it's only been the address that's been wrong since then, lol. To add to the irony, Paul will hopefully complete his PhD in May 2012 which means we'll likely be moving again that summer. So if we stay in PA, it means from April 2000-March 2016 my license will have been accurate for about 18 months total! We seem to move shortly after getting my license renewed every time! Our hope is that the move in May 2012 will be the last one for a very, very long time. Actually, I remember saying when we moved into THIS house in July 2004 that I sure hoped we lived here for decades not years, but that was when we assumed Paul would keep working in the family business which he actually left in December 2005 to go back to school for his master's degree and since then he decided he also wants his doctorate. Probably the only scenario that would mean we would NOT have to move in 2012 would be if he was hired by the university where he is now working in his master's degree OR the university where I am currently teaching. I guess that's not impossible, but probably not something to count on either!
I also have to say again how much I LOVE feeling my daughter move within me. Yesterday it just about brought me to tears (happy ones of course) as I thought of all the years I had looked forward to experiencing this very thing and had awhile ago come to the conclusion I would never experience. It also makes me want the next few months to fly by as when I feel her move it makes me long so intensely for the moment I can hold her within my arms. Last May was such a low point for me as my hopes of adopting in the US through Lifetime and in the Ukraine through Ukrainian Angels were being dashed. Well now of course I see that God had a different plan in store for us - a wonderful one indeed. I am thinking today of those who completed their dossiers around the same time we did (last spring). Although each of us might have FedExed our dossier to the same translator - the outcomes were so different for each. Some had theirs submitted before they expired, some had to redo their dossier before it was submitted, and of course we opted to not redo ours. The outcomes were also very different for each one who traveled to UA. Kathy & Matt came home not that long ago with a beautiful little girl, and Rita & Drew are coming home soon empty handed after being in UA for about a month and visiting three different children. I can only imagine the heartache they are going through right now. I am praying that in time they will discover what plan God has in store for them instead of adopting from UA.
