W O W.

That is the only word for this weekend.
W O W!!!

First, our heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our friends and family that donated items, volunteered their time to us, worked hard, shopped ... wow.  That is definitively the first wow!!  It was overwhelming, humbling, and amazing to be loved so deeply by others ... giving of your possessions and time was so amazing.  We love you all so so so much!!

The second wow is what we raised!!!  In one day, we earned over $2,400 for the adoption fund!!!  We are STILL in shock, 3 days later.  It is so unbelievable to us that we were so blessed ... we were hoping for $1,000!
It was such an amazing experience.

We are riding off all that love and support ... and have one last in person parenting class tonight, psychological evaluations Thursday night ... and we will hopefully be submitting our paperwork on Monday!!!  Then, we wait for the home study and as soon as it is complete we will be live and available to be chosen.

What a roller coaster ride ... it is teaching us to love the highs and stop fearing the lows!  Thank you God for your faithfulness to us and helping us along the way ... we feel your nudges at every turn!!

Now here are some pictures just to make your jaw drop!!
