Lots of Happenings

So, I have really left this blog to be something that is solely for adoption, but as we move on with the process, I'm realizing that our whole life is related to it somehow so maybe I will start writing more!

It's amazing how when people know you're interested in adoption opportunities seem to come out of nowhere. In the last month we have had two circumstances where someone knows of a friend or relative who is interested in adoption for her baby and would we be interested if it were to happen? Would we? Bring em on! The more the merrier! Hehe...Daniel might not agree with that right this second for financial reasons; however....
We are not holding our breath, but we might have a possibility of selling our house!!!! Woo-hoo!!!! That is all the celebrating I am allowing myself until it becomes a sure thing!!! Awesome thing is, is that I couldn't sleep Saturday night for thinking about that darn mortgage. I began to pray, pray, pray that the house would sell this week, or that God would give us a peace again in the waiting. Daniel found out about someone who may be interested in it on Monday. Coincidence??! I think not!!

Also, I emailed our social worker with a question today. She called back and answered the question, but also told us she would call us back by tomorrow (she has some filing to finish for us) to schedule our interviews!!! One step closer! I am almost finished with our profile book as well which makes me even more excited because it has been so much work!! I have sort of done it without looking at many examples so hopefully I won't have to re-do the whole thing or something terrible when we show it to our social worker.

I have been working on the house trying to prepare for our home visit. I decided to rearrange two rooms so now that that's done I feel so much better!! I would still like to rearrange our bedroom soon. Hopefully I can talk the hubby into helping me soon.

I am hoping to start posting with pictures more often. I don't know how to load pics from our camera so I always have to wait for Daniel to do it...one of these days I'll get him to teach me so I can do it myself!

Also, I don't know what happened with the pics of all the followers on the blog, but I didn't get rid of them on purpose if you were wondering!! I am trying to figure out how to get them back.

Happy Wednesday!

Tommie's Blog Update

My brother, Tommie, informed me that it was time for a blog update, so here it is! Does anybody even read this?? I started this blog with the intentions of using it solely for our adoption (and all things related) and on that note we really don't have any new news. When we started our adoption journey we had every intention of zooming thru every step of the process; however, we have really taken it slow, completely at our own pace.
Since finishing up our Home Study classes last May...or was it April?...anyway, we have really taken our time with completing the next steps. No reason really...other than God's timing is perfect. As we seek Him every step of this journey, I know all the details will come together according to His plan. If He wanted us to have everything together already, then we would! I like visiting the Bethany website and seeing couples from our classes go up on the adoptive couples page. I can't wait for ours to be up there!
We are planning on mailing in the rest of our paperwork by this Friday. Following that, we'll have a couple of interviews, as well as a visit to our home, plus the completion of our profile (what birth parents receive to choose a family).
All that being said, I would like to kick it into high gear because I got a phonecall today asking if I would be a long-term sub for a teacher going out on maternity leave from September thru December! Once that starts, I'll be more than busy once again! It will be nice if we are on the "waiting" list by September so that I can just focus on the teaching position. I'm excited about it because I will have several students from my class I taught last year. Fun!
So...maybe there will be more updates sooner rather than later now!
