New year

Yes it is 2 am and I am wide awake.  We rang in the new year like an old married couple in bed checking our news and Facebook but alas I am wide awake while the crew sleeps peacefully.  My mind drifted over our year of 2014. The loss of our second child to miscarriage is forever seared in my head in the form of an ultrasound. Seeing that perfectly formed little baby who God chose to take home made the whole experience much more real than my first miscarriage,  not to mention the physical part of giving birth to a dead baby. Never did we know that so quickly God would open another door for us to walk thorough in the form of adoption. We have labored tirelessly ok perhaps not best word choice. We have been working our butts off. .. nights,  weekends,  vacations, trying to finish our house all the while doing paperwork and homestudy things in addition to fundraising. Much more of that to come!  Our prayers for 2015 is that God would grant us the funds to go get our boy!  Praising Him that we now have the money to complete the homestudy and that in Jan we would be able to finally get the homestudy finalized! As soon as we finalize and have the next $3k we can proceed with our dossier and hopefully sometime around our anniversary finally see his file.  This journey is such a walk of faith but watching God work is nothing short of miraculous!  Now onto a healthy and happy New year!

Wonderful blessings

I had the most amazing weekend with family and my hubby this weekend.  For such a short time period we got lots accomplished.  We got to make the needed errands done, went camping in the most peaceful relaxing time we've had in awhile also spent several hours working on the house and got several things checked off our list.  I am so thrilled and my heart is overflowing.  We have so much work left but through God's grace we willg get things done in His perfect timing.  Life is great and I'm loving this warmer fall weather! Keep checking here and ask top join our deaf adoption Facebook group for more info on the status of our adoption.  Our latest fundraiser is the beautiful bracelets that provide clean water in Africa and help bring our boy home.  All made here in the USA!

Long days

The past few weeks have been long days as we hurry to finish our house.   Painting mudding sanding wiring. .. we are slowly making progress and hope to soon have a working bathroom sink!  We have cabinets stained painted and installed and are soon gonna look at countertop for the bathroom.  We will both be s relieved to be finished just in time to start on outside winter yard work. Keep us in your prayers as we prepare for hvac n final electrical inspections.  We are ready to have this all behind us and move into our addition so we can get better organized. Pray that our three current fundraisers are successful as we try to raise our next agency payment! We are halfway to next payment amount and a huge yardsale the end of October(23,24,25) and then our fun painting fundraiser Nov 1st! Please feel free to donate items to yardsale.

Today was my first day back at work and its been a long day! Awake off and on all night then alas up at 5am to start my day! Loving that I can once again sneak out the back door without waking everyone. Here is hoping tmw goes as smoothly! Today we exercised our right to vote and Brianna thought it was GREAT! All these nice older ladies and gentleman with sweet smiles. She had a blast and learned about our great democratic system. Vote for Carr and replace Clark, Wade, and Lee!!!!








Well off to run errands before back to work tmw!

Sitting here watching my hyper two year old in her wonderful rainbow colored tiger face paint at chick-fila kids night and cannot help but think just how much she needs a sibling/s. She is having so much fun playing with the kids in the next booth instead of finishing her chicken. This past weekend at my sisters wedding she had the time of her life playing with my best friends kids and I cannot help but think to when we final have our boy home and are able to bring our kiddos to chick-fila so they can all get their faces painted and enjoy chicken and just the joy of getting out and doing something fun together as a family! Brianna will love having a brother. I know I enjoyed all three of mine (at times) and at times I still do.... ;)


We are just hanging out....doing errands and picking up items we need while we wait to go pick up Daddy from the airport. He has spent the last few days helping his mother replace her roof. We are so looking forward to him being back and us moving forward with the house as we race to get things finished in a timely manner!


As we continually run into more issues with the house and having to buy more and more supplies. We are increasingly aware that without God's providential help there is no way we will be able to complete this adoption. We know that we serve a mighty God who is able to do all things and we rest in the promise that HE will grant the desires of our hearts and that HIS people will help provide for the orphans! Thank you for taking the time to read this and please PASS this and our fundraising site on to EVERYONE you know. Share our story with your church, and PRAY that God would help the house and homestudy go smoothly and provide the needed funds to bring this boy into our loving arms!

Two steps forward?

Finally I have been able to the boys room 85% painted and have started working on their closet. We are trying desperately to finish the rest of the drywall and finish the last of the mudding so that we can began working on the sanding and then lay floors! Keep us in your prayers. Work starts back for me this week and while I am so excited to begin saving money for the adoption and finishing the house and homestudy it drastically cuts into my time to be able to work on the house. Making things much more difficult and reducing the time I can spend fundraising and working on other projects. So please just keep praying for our son and passing on the info on how you and others can help us!




Thank you!

update on the addition

Yeah! I finally got to paint a closet! I have primed the boys room and soon hope to finish painting there and lay flooring! I have finally done a good mudding job so that means maybe my sweet hubby will let me do more! I am LEARNING!!!! It has been a whirlwind of a summer and some serious hard work. I am about ready to start back to work and my normal routine! Pray for our finances as the house has eaten more than we expected and thus we are having to COMPLETELY rely on fundraising from here on out to bring our son home! Please consider helping by sharing our info with all your friends and churches too! Http://www.adopttogether.com/ourdeafadoption
