Sneak Peek...

As many of you know we are trying to raise funds to start the adoption process for another baby! We are so excited about this journey and cannot wait to get it started. The first thing we have to do in the process is a homestudy.....so in order to raise funds so that we can begin our homestudy we are holding an online blog auction from April 5-11! I want to give you a "sneak peek" at a few of the items that will be up for auction!!!

Today the sun came out.....glorious! It was still a bit chilly but I was able to enjoy a nice run through the neighborhood. Tomorrow (and for the rest of the week) it is supposed to be in the 70s....that makes me smile. So in honor of the beautiful weather that is quickly approaching (and that I hope stays for a while) I decided to post my spring and summer must haves for 2011......so here goes....

1. I love manicures and pedicures.....but since the budget doesn't allow for me to get them done by a professional I have learned to give them to myself...check out these fun colors!!


2. When the weather gets nice I love to take my workouts outdoors. My knees can't live with out these!


3. I love tank tops and Old Navy (Tall) tanks are my favorite!!


4. One word.....JEWELRY!!!




4. I have never been a big fan of shorts so a great alternative I have found is dresses! Pair the short ones with leggings for a different look!



5. If you take the time to give yourself a pedicure...make sure you have a cute sandal to show it off!



Well there you have it friends! Those are a few of my favorite items! You don't have to spend a ton of money to have a fun wardrobe. Make sure you check out those clearance sections, shop off season, TJ Maxx, Marshall's and for you Joplin gals....Name Brand Clothing is fabulous!!

Love you all....

Waiting....

Each night I sit at my computer and I read the comments....I read the blogs....and my heart aches. So many of our friends are in the midst of the craziness that we call adoption. Man it is a hard journey and honestly the thought of going through it again brings me great anxiety....but when you hold that baby for the first time in your arms you KNOW it was ALL WORTH IT! The paperwork....the courtdates....the long awaited emails....the silence....the waiting....the waiting....the waiting......yep it is all worth it!
We have friends that are all on various journey's. Each of them having a different reason for choosing to adopt. But the one thing they (we) all have in come is that somewhere in a land very far away there is a young woman who is going to carry our child. She is going to make one of the most selfless decisions that can ever be made. She is going to bring our babies into this world. I am thankful for those women. Not because they have to make those heart wrenching decisions. Not because they have to go through the shame, embarrassment, and pain of carrying a child they will never see grow up. No I am thankful for them because they choose life for their baby and they are giving us mommies and daddies in the US hope. They are blessing us with a life that we can nurture, love, and care for. I will probably never get to thank Kyler's biological mom in person......oh how I would love to be able to do that.....and she will probably never see his face......oh how we would welcome that opportunity......but I love her. I love her with a love that only those who have adopted or are going to adopt will ever know. She holds a special place in my heart and I am so thankful for her life and her sacrifice.
So as you read this blog will join with me in praying for the women that are bringing our babies into this world? Will you pray for their protection....for there faith....for there lives?
After you pray for these women will you also pray for our various friends who are in various stages of adopting. Pray for comfort, strength, and patience for these husbands and wives.
