Update: Jumping In with Two Feet

Some of you may know, but I have not shared with everyone yet, just because it's a lot to process and I needed some time to take it all in.
Last week we made our adoption announcement super public. We are 'FB official'. We also mailed out almost 100 of our adoption flyers. I was amazed and humbled by the responses we got from our friends and family! I had several people come up to me at church and ask if they could pass on our flyer to someone they knew, or someone that worked where they could share our story. Overwhelmed.
That next week, I got two phone calls from two friends or friends of friends. Make sense? That's how this whole process is going to work. So now we have been told about six. Yes 6 possible birth mom's that are looking to give their baby's up for adoption. Not all of those were in one week, but three were. So when I say it was a lot to process, I mean it was hard. Excited!? Scared. Tears. Worried. Nausea. Thankful! Ready to get that room into a nursery. Wondering if I am going to be the Momma to one of these babies.
What do we do from here? Pray. Wait. Pray. Wait. That's all we can do. We have given our flyers to our friends to pass along. And one I mailed specifically to a close friend/family member of one of the birth mom's. They have to make the decision. They have to decide if we are the family they want to trust to take care of their baby for the rest of his or her life. Big decision. I wouldn't want to be rushed on, so I am trying to be patient and wait. And wait. And PRAY!
Thank you again to everyone that has helped and are helping us grow our family! (I can't thank enough)

I Guess I Just Need a Little Sympathy!

Recognize Any of These Names?? Most women (or people) would not recognize names like, Skeet Reece, KVD, Mike Iaconelli-had to look up that spelling! Let me name some more...Bill Dance, Hank Parker, Alton Jones. Anyone out there know these people? These are just a few that I can think of right now. These people are like family, we talk about them so much! Let me introduce you to my life. My husband loves to fish. When I say loves to fish, that does not really explain the passion he has for this hobby. Let me try to explain it. Obsess –verb, to think about something unceasingly or persistently; dwell obsessively upon something. There we go. Michael is obsessed with fishing. He thinks about it constantly. He watches it on television anytime he can get his hands on the remote. He talks about it, like I really want to hear about it. "Bo" is Caden's new word! AKA, boat. I have a feeling, it won't be long before I have two children obsessed with fishing. The flip side to tha

Read Much?

I am not a big reader. I remember growing up, and even still today, my Mom is such a big reader. She will pick up a book and not put it down until she's finished reading it. Yes, that means, she doesn't know what's going on around her. She gets so involved reading. I never ever liked reading. I will pick up little 'one-a-day devotional' and read it for about a week, then forget about it. I have never enjoyed reading. When we were leaving for the beach, for some reason, I wanted a book to read. So I have had this book for a while, but haven't made time to read it. 'Cracking the Communication CODE', by Emerson Eggerichs. It's book 2 of 'Love and Respect'. I didn't realize that when I got it. But you don't have to read Love and Respect to read the other. To help you understand why I picked up this book let me give you a little insight to what has gone on for me in the past three years. M lost his job. He moved away for a year and a half.

THE Wedding

Yes, It was a week ago, but blogging isn't my only chore. Last Saturday, November 6th my baby L got married. She was so beautiful! I was so honored to be apart of that day. I remember when she met J. We were all a little sceptical about it. He was a friend of a high school classmate, and it was a blind date. But they met and had a good time and it was history from there. The first time I met J, L, asked M and I to go to the Cumming Country Fair with them. M and I being country music fans were very excited to go. Because M and I started dating so long ago, he is like a big brother to L. They both bicker and protect each other like siblings. Michael kind of had a gut feeling J was going to be a good guy because he like Charlie Daniels and he knew the old country songs. After the concert we stopped my DQ, and had ice cream. For those of you that don't know, M doesn't like chocolate. Well at least that is what he says, but he will eat peanut M&M's, snickers, and browni
