We met the parents!
They were absolutely wonderful and I find myself getting excited and daydreaming about our adventure and what their in for (I say that because I've been chasing my naughty-at-times toddler).

| Imagine this guy's accent... |
The IPs are from London and I'll admit I felt very "American" when speaking to them. Their accents are beautiful, one from Wales and the other from the Scottish countryside. I never thought I had much of a Kansas accent. The term I used earlier, American, let me explain... Do you know when breaking news, especially bad weather reports, are on the news and they find someone's neighbor to interview? It is almost always a person that couldn't find anything but pajamas to wear and is missing a few teeth. Now think a bit of how they speak... Still thinking? Got it? Good (if not, I've added a picture to the right if you lack imagination). I felt like the featured neighbor on the breaking weather report; that is how beautiful their accents were.
I'm excited to share this adventure with such a deserving couple, soon-to-be family. In the meantime, I will be practicing my diction.
Hey Morgan! Congrats on the match! Such an exciting time for sure! Would live to chat more - I'm pretty much in the same place you are, just a tad behind. I Skype on Sunday with my French IP's and hopefully I'll have a match as well! Shoot me an email if you would like to keep in touch! Kap1919 at aol.com!
