OKAY...Cut to NOW!!!

So ALOT of things have happened since we got married that will always stay in our hearts and minds. We bought a Camry, a Jeep, two pickups, a 69 Camaro, two boats, a motorcycle, a four wheeler, a dump truck, a Mitsubishi Endeavor (and a Partridge in a Pear Tree) LOL. Traded the Camry and Jeep, sold the Camaro, motorcycle, boats and four wheeler. Our big investment was our home.

We finally moved out of our little trailer on which we worked so diligently. During the four years we lived there, we built on an extra room, put in a heat pump and put in a new stove. His grandmother now rents the trailer and repaid us by paying off one of Josh's vehicles.

At this time, we are adopting a child. Seven years of marriage and thousands of dollars of infertility treatment have not yeilded a child for us. All of the prayers that have been lifted were not in vain, because we know God has a plan, and, even though it may not be OUR plan, He knows what he doing. We felt like it was His will not to bring a child into this crazy world. Instead, take a child that has already been born and is in need of a loving home, and provide him/her with all the love we have been storing up!!

So here we are. We just completed our last CLASS with our Case Worker and are waiting on my FBI profile to come back. Then she is coming to our house to go over our home study and we'll be set. We are anxious, nervous, excited, scared.......All at the same time. Plus my little sister just found out she is pregnant, so we have that to look forward to. We have been told that it could be a week or a month, but they are hoping to have us set with a child by December.

We are crossing our fingers that we can give a deserving child a Christmas he/she could only dream of!!!

God is Good!
