Do you think that today is the day? Will our phone ring with the call? Some days it feels like we have been waiting forever but in all reality, it's only been a couple of months. I am consumed with thoughts of our daugther. I keep telling myself that most people have to wait for 9 months to meet their child. I should be more patient. It's so easy to say those words but much more difficult to actually do it. Good grief, am I pitiful or what? Changing the subject......

I am a part of group of wonderful girls called the Flip Flop Club. We started out as a supper club but I am here to tell you that they are so much more than that to me. Anyway, Saturday night, we had a baby shower for my sister in law. I was included in the baby shower! I got a car seat and stroller travel system! I was so excited!! Thanks again to my girls!

Our crib came in and Brett put it together. He got very frustrated several times and had to walk away from it but he finally figured it out. It is so gorgeous! Our dresser should be here soon. Hopefully it won't require much construction. :) Things are coming together in the nursery. Decorating for a girl is so fun!

Our yard sale was a HUGE success!! Our first customer arrived at 7am and we worked until 12pm. Our total was $712.86! Thank you to everyone who donated their stuff. Thanks also to everyone who showed up to help! We appreciate it more than you know!

I read a post written by our adoption consultant, Tracie, that is incredible. I wanted to share it with everyone! Go here to read it.

Need Stuff??

Our yard sale is September 27. If you live in our area and need "stuff", please come on over! We have furniture, appliances, tv's, vcr's, books galore, pictures, boy clothes, toys, bicycles and much more! Our two car garage is pack full and we are so grateful.

Our Latest Project

Every day I write in a journal to Ellison. Mason decided that he would also like to write to her. Here is his first letter. So incredibly sweet!!

Quote of the Day

"Patience with others is Love, Patience with self is Hope, Patience with God is Faith."

We had an amazing vacation. It went by way too fast as all vacations do. We were excited to come home and continue our wait for that one phone call that will change our lives. Patience.... Patience.... Patience!!!!

Our Disney Cruise

Whirlwind

We learned last night that the journey of adoption can be very.... ummmm.... what's the word I am searching for..... unpredictable. We got our first call about a "situation". We were not chosen for this baby girl but we definitely learned that we have to be prepared for the phone call that will change our lives. If we were chosen for this baby, we would be on our way to Utah right now. Yes....that fast! It's unbelievable to think that things could happen like that. So, instead of Utah, we are going on a Disney cruise. This trip has been planned for months. We are very excited! We know that it will probably be the last one we take as a family of three. So, Bon Voyage! We will be home on Sunday. I will post a few pictures of our Carribbean adventure!

P.S. If you have ever considered donating to our adoption fund, now would be great time....we never know when we will have to board a plane!!

We Already Have Stuff!

As of today, our garage is filling with stuff donated by friends. Yeah! Of course, my super neat husband is panicking because our garage is becoming more and more cluttered. It's a garage.... aren't we suppose to have stuff in it?? And what's better than stuff we can sell! So, thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Keep the stuff coming! We need a lot of stuff!
