For those of you out there in internet land that know me, you'll know that I am a pretty reserved person. I don't tend to get overly emotional about much. Yet I find myself very emotional about knowing that I have a daughter out there. I want to know where she is, where she is from and above all else when I get to meet her. The pictures I have of her are posted on my desk at home, on my computer at home, my computer at work, on my ipod, and just about everywhere else I can think of. I guess you could say that I have the baby bug.
Tonight Kate and I were sitting on the couch searching the web for all thing Ethiopia. This is a completely normal thing to do when you know that your child is half way around the world. At least I think it's completely normal. Having said all that I thought of nothing other than google maps. I thought wouldn't it be cool if I could see the area where she is from. Wouldn't that be amazing. Wouldn't you know it, thanks to those smart guys at google I was able to find the region where Asha (that's her new name) is from. I'm not really sure how close we are to really knowing where she is from but I do know that she is from the Hosaina region in Ethiopia. I've included a link if you want to check it out. I was encouraged to see that the town has track, it's made of dirt but that's good enough for me. Well that's enough for now. Follow the link to see the area Asha is from.
