Holiday Shopping Fundraiser

Running not your thing?! Check out our other fundraiser coming up the very next weekend. We wanted to have two big fundraisers that would hit on very different interests to allow as many people as possible to get in on our adoption process :-) This one is right up my alley!! Stop on by to get ready for Christmas! Have your lists ready. We will have Pampered Chef, Thirty-One Gifts, Premier Designs, and finish it out with a chair massage and some snacks!! Hope to see you there! Can't make it but still want to place an order? Let me know!!

Our God is Greater!!

YAY!! We got our first donation toward the adoption in the mail today. What a blessing it is to be a part of such a wonderful group of believers. We are SO excited to see how God will provide and the precious little boy or girl that is waiting for us!!

Run for Home - Upcoming Adoption Fundraiser

Check out our upcoming adoption fundraiser! We are so excited to host this race as running is one of Kevin's passions. If you would like to participate but cannot attend or live out of town, you can still purchase an entry fee and Kevin will wear your bib number with your name on it in your honor. Please let us know if you purchase an entry fee but will not be attending. We hope to have fun things available for the kiddos including snacks and face painting. We are in great need of some business sponsors so please let us know if you have a business that would be willing to donate a little money to cover the cost of the race and/or donate prizes, food, etc. Thanks!!!

Family Profile

IT IS DONE!!! YAY!!! Thought I would include it so you could see what we have accomplished. Man this took FOREVER :-) I know it is personal...but most of you know all this about us anyway and we wanted you to see our heart for our birthmother and unborn child. The only thing I ask is that if you see any typo... don't tell me about it. I had it looked over many times but now that it is printed and off to be read by birthmothers... knowing about a small typo will only stress me out. Thanks!!

Can't wait!!! Only a matter of time now!!! Please pray for our birthmother as she makes difficult decisions and that she would make healthy choices as they now affect our child. Please also pray for our baby that he or she would grow big and strong and healthy. We love you all!!

You're getting warmer!!

I used to love playing that game when I was a kid. You would walk around searching for something that was hidden and the other person would be saying "cold" or "warmer" or "hot" to help you find it. Some days I feel like I am playing that game!! Today I feel like we are definitely getting "warmer" and it is SO exciting. I am finishing our birthmother profile as we speak and our Social Worker already has a birthmother in mind to show it to!! I am trying not to get my hopes up and yet still so excited to already be at that step. God has been so faithful through our journey already and are enjoying each new step along the way. We are finalizing our homestudy tomorrow at 11:30am with our Social Worker. Checking fire alarms, seperate interviews, and the house tour. Our social worker is wonderful! She was our friends' social worker through their adoption process and they loved her as well so we knew that we were blessed from the start.
We had the blessing of seeing some of our dear "Friends for Life" at Cedarville's homecoming this past weekend. We has such an incredible time. We are SO blessed to have some godly and joyful people in our lives. We were able to eat together, laugh, catch up, and most importantly they layed hands on us and pray for us in this next step in our lives. I couldn't help but be overcome with emotion as they brought us before the throne. We are so thankful for the bond we share in Christ and for their support during this time. We'll... time to edit our profile and head to Kinkos. Feels like college heading to the 24 hour Kinkos in the middle of the night to finish a last minute project :-)
