Taking a breath!

Well, as you all know our fall fundraiser was stunning and amazing.  Click here to see the amazing pictures ... we had a BLAST!  We had a wonderful group of friends that hosted this amazing event and silent auction, and all in all raised almost $4,000 from this event!

Since then, we met with our agency and did our final set of interviews, and our case worker is working hard on our Home Study write up.  We have finished our profile books, it is FABULOUS!  They should arrive tomorrow!!

So from here, we meet with Nancy on Wednesday the 19th for our final meeting and to look over the Home Study, hand over our profiles, and wrap this side of the work up!  Then, it is waiting, praying, hoping, dreaming, saving, saving, saving time!!!

We are so excited and ready for this step ... it is giant.  In the past month our lives have been turned upside down with adoption ... one month ago today we were obsessively cleaning our house and freaking out about the study!  Since then we have had a beautiful party, raised $4,000, done all the home study work, created a profile, and laughed.  We have laughed a lot =)

I pray and hope that we can stay happy and excited about this after next week.  When the projects stop, and the constant "something to do for the agency" slows down ... when it is just the two of us and the wait.  Yes, we have PLENTY going on that will occupy that time, but it is still something we have to work toward.  Staying positive and happy takes work ... but it is so worthwhile!!
