We are so happy to officially be on our agency's waiting list! Everything that can be done with our paperwork is done now, so the wait begins...

Thanks to Wikipedia, I have some facts about the wonderful number 42-

-42 is one of The Numbers on the television show Lost, along with 4, 8, 15, 16 and 23.

-The eight digits of pi beginning from 242,422 places after the decimal point are 42424242.

-The jersey number of Jackie Robinson, which is the first and only number retired by all Major League Baseball teams.

-The first digit (4) taken to the power of the second digit (2) is equal to the second digit (2) taken to the power of the first digit (4): 42 = 24 = 16.

- The jersey number of Pat Tillman, which was retired on November 13, 2004 by Arizona State University.

- Messier object M42, a magnitude 5.0 diffuse nebula in the constellation Orion, also known as the Orion Nebula. (pictured below, isn't it BEAUTIFUL!?!)
