Thank You!!

We have been in the adoption process for several months now, but as I was sending out our flyers to all of our close friends and family, I decided it was a good time to make it 'Facebook Official'.  We were very specific about telling our closest friends and family in person and then from there slowly spreading our news.  Yesterday I sat down and addressed 50+ envelopes with our flyers.  (Mom helped a little last week while we were at their house.) That made this whole process a little bit more realistic.  Today I am going to call and inquire about what we need to do to start our home study!  I would tell you what that means, but I don't really know yet.  I know it's something we have to do and that's about all I know for certain.

I wanted to thank all of our friends and family that have taken time to encourage us through this process.  We know this is going to be a long hard process, so we are going to need all the love, support and encouragement that we can get!  Thank you!  I was in tears several different times yesterday.  I had a few people message me and give such great encouragement!  Thank you!!

I had a few people ask how we are going about finding a baby.  The letters that I addressed yesterday go in to more detail about that.  We are doing a domestic private adoption.  We are not going through an agent.  We are searching for our own mom.  We are needing you to help us, too!  We are wanting to find a birth mom here in the state of Georgia, but are not opposed to one in another state.  I know we have lots of friends and family in other states, so don't think just because you are not in Georgia that you can not help.  You can!  Please contact us with any and all questions!  If its about our personal adoption or if this is something you have considered doing, but didn't know where to begin.  I hope that by us doing this, this will help others see and know that you can too!

Signed, sealed, delivered!

Roller Coaster Ride

It's just that. We knew getting into this it would have ups and downs. Lots of waiting, and wondering. I was talking to a friend of ours that is adopting as well, and she said, 'Welcome to the roller coaster that is adoption'. She's right. I thought about a song I knew from when I was younger. (I still have the cassette...) It's called Roller Coaster Ride, but 4HIM. Life is a roller coaster. Music speaks so much to me!! As you go through highs and lows And all that's in between The Lord alone is in control Of this big scream machine We told our closest family and friends early on.  We wanted prayers, and support!  We got that right away from everyone!  My sister's, friend's Mom (complicated, I know.) knew of a baby that was born and the mother had already lots her birth rights. We thought we had a lead. A potential baby could be ours.   Yes, one week after we had made our first official step towards adoption.  I pretty much checked my phone

Let's Recap 2010

This will kind of give you an idea of how I think. When I reflect on 2010, of course all the really big, or most recent things come to mind- L got married, Christmas was wonderful, we had a blast at the beach, we moved, and so on. But to really sit down and look over 2010 I just run down month by month and look at all my pictures. I wish I had a way to count all the pictures I took-it would take days!! So here is a fun recap of THEPRICEPRESS 2010 January 7th was the first snow! February 12th it snowed again! March it snowed some more!! In March we went with some friends (with $1 seats) to Atlanta Motor Speedway and got to see one of the biggest accidents of the season right in front of us...Redneck I know! March 20th M's brother got married!! April we got to celebrate Jesus's Resurrection. And my 27th birthday. May we had lots of ups and downs-M started working nights, and it really was not a fun adjustment!! And he turned 27th, too! =) June we went to the beach for sev

Meltdown!

Well it's been forever since I've posted something. We've been busy, and when we are not busy, we are resting. That's my excuse! =) Caden just turned 18 months on the 1st. At his 12 month check up they told us that the "terrible two" are beginning and to watch out! Terrible two? No, not my sweet Caden. He's too sweet and laid back for that. And besides, I thought they started when they were two, not on their way to two. OK, so within the last month or two, Caden has begun to have these "meltdowns". They can happen anytime, day or night. Sleepy, or well rested. At home or in public. With family, or with people at church! It's just when he doesn't get his way. (But mainly when he wants to be outside.) Today we went outside for just a few minutes to get some fresh air, and let him play. By the way he LOVES outside. So I keep him on the front porch so he can stay out of the sun, and so I don't have to chase him all over Dahlonega-because,
