Today, I had to make an international call for work and as you may know, there are a lot of numbers to dial when calling someone's hotel overseas. In looking at the phone number, ironically the phone number had five ones in a row. No big deal, right? Sure, I would agree with you- but let me back this up to 3 days prior.
On February 3rd, our home study was ready so we went to pick it up and then carried it and our other adoption documents to the Secretary of State to authenticate them. The address of the location was "1111".
I know, you are probably thinking "Where is she going with this?" Fast forward to the next day, Nate and I were getting our hair cut and though I've been to this salon probably a hundred times, today I notice as we are walking in, that the address is "111".
I sort of just chuckled and didn't think much of it other than recalling the address from the office the day before was 1111.
Later that night, Nate took me downtown for a birthday dinner (since my actual birthday was a little crazy the day before and weekends are far more relaxing for a birthday dinner of course) and as we were coming out of the restaurant, the address on the building as we walked out was "111". At that point, I had to mention it to Nate and I told him I'm not one to think anything about numbers, but I just thought it was so strange to see that over the course of several days.
I was curious what he might say. He just smiled and said, "Maybe November 1 or January 11 is the date we will be matched with our child or perhaps the date we will travel. I told him maybe it will be the date our daughter was born. All good guesses I thought.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if 1/11 or 11/11 ever shows up anywhere down the road in our process. I'm not holding my breath of course, but it will be interesting to see.
