Man, am I glad tomorrow is Friday... today has been the longest week. I guess since I only worked 2 days last week, this one seemed extra long but it has been pretty good. When I weighed on Monday I had lost 2 1/2 more pounds, so that is good. The news this week has been so sad, 1st the man in California killing his family, himself and then today same thing in Ohio.. a man killed himself, wife and 2 kids. I don't understand it, there are a million people in the country who would have taken any of those kids. There is so much sadness in the world we live in today you would think every church in America would be busting at the seems, but it isn't happening. I guess all we can do is PRAY, PRAY and PRAY. I am just so thankful for my family and friends. I couldn't imagine my life without them.

my first day of being a blogger....

Ok guys, here it is... my first official post to our blog! So today was an ok day, turned out better than I thought it would be. We have close friends that we referred to the adoption consult we are using, and there precious baby girl was born Sunday morning at 3:03 am. The birthmom signed the papers this morning so now all they have to do is what on the Ga and Fl to get all there stuff together and then they come home. They email us pictures a little while ago, she is beautiful, a head slap full of black hair! We are so happy for them.
We got an email from our guy, Brock, that we are working with today of a new situation, unfortunately the b'mom isn't due until August and wants more $$ for monthly expenses than we live off of. Amazing, huh!
See we got connected with Brock thru a lawyer in Kansas that we where "contracted" with back in November when a b'mom saw our profile and wanted us to adopt her baby that is due in April, so just our luck a week after we paid him $8k she had a change of heart and decided to keep her baby. Luckily his $8k fee rolled over, but the bad thing is that was almost half of our adoption budget, so we are kinda "locked in" with him so to speak. I know in my heart that God has our baby Just keep us in your prayers....... well I am off to watch the bachelor, good night.


lil' info 'bout me

Todd and I try to keep everyone updated about how the adoption process is going. Most of our family and friends don't want to keep asking, so I figure a blog is the best way to keep everyone updated. I am so new to this blogging stuff, so y'all just have to bear with me.
