We've made a choice!!!!!!

YAY! It feels SO good to say that!

Here's the rundown: We got the 3 profiles and Tygh and I looked at them separately and we had both chosen the same one first! (I knew we would).

Here's what we know:

They live in Ohio. Both Caucasian of German descent (like me!). They have twins; a boy and a girl. They have 9 embryos (so we won't need to be matched with any other couples -- this is our one shot!). He is 6'2; she is 5'6. He has brown hair; brown eyes. He weighs 230. She has brown hair; blue eyes. She weighs 120. (okay, right about now I feel like we're "shopping" for a match -- please don't take it that way -- this is just the couple we felt most connected with).

They are both college graduates; she has her masters degree. He is a Director of Purchasing. She is an HR Manager.

Now for the major commonalities: He loves 80s music! (huge plus in my book). He loves James Bond movies; the Rolling Stones; golf; played college football; and plays 3 instruments!
And get this... SHE loves 80s music! And she was a cheerleader! She plays 2 instruments!
So Tygh and I were smitten with all of the above (we got a lot more detail than this in the profile, but the blog post would be really long). But, to boot, they were the one profile of all the 6 that had pictures. And, can I just say, they are a mighty fine couple with two GORGEOUS children.
So next steps are that the coordinator will send our profile to them (yikes, hard for me to remember what we said; what pictures we sent -- hope they were good!), and if they "accept" us in return (please, Lord!), then we work with the adoption agency to arrange an openness agreement. I hope they are open enough to chatting via email or on the phone before the transfer.

Can you tell we've fallen in love with a family in Ohio?!

Thank you, Jesus, for making this couple stand out so profoundly to us! Onward!
