ALMOST through with the paperwork!!

  Well we have now finished our in-home home study visits and only have one more visit to complete our home study completely! We are quickly approaching the end of this approval phase :) We almost have our paperwork done too!!! Yay!!!!!!!! I mean YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about feeling accomplished. Before long we might actually have time to spend an evening relaxing in front of the TV :) We will be ending our t-shirt fundraiser soon so if anyone wants a shirt you better go ahead and order it. If anyone wants a large of the brown faith, hope, & love shirt I have a friend that ordered an extra one (or two) accidentally that I am sure would be glad to sell it to ya:) Just let me know and I'll get you in touch with her. Also, We really, really need to sell these Titans tickets for Sept 29th! It will be here before we know it and I don't want to hold on to them too long. We do not have any big fundraisers left, and this will probably be the last one. Several people have said they heard we had all our money, but that's not true yet. However, we are getting really close. If anyone still has change jars that they want to return you can give them to Mindy at the bank. Thank you all so much for your support whatever if may be! Please continue to pray for us as we enter the next phase, waiting. 

Still Truckin' Along

  I told you I was not good at this blog thing :) A lot has happened since my last post. We had a great yard sale! People said it was more like a flea market! We have sold all our big items. The only fundraiser we have now is some Titans tickets we are trying to sale. The game is Sept. 29th against the Jets. So if you know anyone interested send them my way. We have started our home study process and have our first in home visit next week! This will be our second of four visits. As far as paperwork goes we are coming along pretty good there too. A few more weeks and we should have it all done:) So hopefully sometime in September we will be eligible to be selected by a birth mother! Yay!! We may have to wait a while to be selected but we may not. It's pretty exciting! We won't know what to do with our time when all we have to do is wait. We hope everyone will continue to pray for us through this journey. It has been so wonderful this far. God has blessed us in all our efforts to raise money and through so many friends and family members. We have meet some great people who have been where we are now and it's great to see how things ended up for them. Both of our agencies (for placement and home study) have been absolutely great! They are so good at what they do and wonderful to work with! Well it may not sound like a lot but we have been some busy people. A few more weeks of this craziness and then things will start to slow down.
