Fundraising ideas????

Oh! I almost forgot, I need fundraising ideas!!!!! If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I live in a rural area and it is hard to fundraise so ideas are very appreciated!!!!

Things are changin'!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know that I personally recieved more presents than I feel like I really deserve. But just being around all the people I love was the best thing ever. I know that next year we'll be sharing the holidays with our little prince!

I am still waiting on the call from my home study agency. I am growing very impatient with them. Other news.....We changed adoptiona agencies! I am almost giddy with excitement to say it outloud. For quite a while now I have had a nagging feeling that something was very, very WRONG. I have prayed about it and then a few nights ago after speaking with several people (wink, wink) we changed to Adoption Ark. I spoke with Jill yesterday and she says that with the way things are going that we could travel by June or July! I feel really good about the change. We look forward finishing our journey with them! Thanks Suzanne, Matt and Muriel!

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone! I hope this message finds everyone in good health and spirits! I am excited to say that I finally got all our clearences and they can finally set up all our home visits! I am so excited I am just ready to move along with our home study. We finally got our nursery put together and I have to say it is soooo cute. I am just so ready to have Garrett home and for us to just be a family. My biggest dream!

Happy Holidays

Well, I know I haven't had very much to talk about lately. The past few weeks have been hard because this is my first holiday season without my Daddy. It has just been so many firsts this year. It is just too hard. I think I've cried everyday for the past 2 weeks. Last Saturday was the Auburn-Alabama game (a b-i-g deal in the big state of Alabama). My Dad was a huge Auburn fan and so am I. We watched that game together every single year. I watched it with my husband (an Bama fan), my brother Matt and some friends this year. (War Eagle) Auburn won for the sixth straight year. My Daddy was in heaven watching that game! I just miss him so much.

Anyway, we're still waiting for one of my clearences to come back before they can come do the home study. I have the most of our dossier together. I'm beginning to thing that I'm going to have our dossier before the home studys even done. (ugggggggg!) I know, I know, the waiting is the worst part. I keep telling myself that but it's not really any consulation. At least I know that the good Lord willing by next Christmas Garrett will be here with us and it will be another year of firsts.
