So something else noteworthy happened this weekend. First, a little backstory, I was told when we applied to the Holt Thailand program that it was a very small program. It’s my understanding that only about 20-25 children are referred from Thailand through Holt each year, and that includes families adopting from the US and several […]
Something strange happened this weekend. It is hard for me not to sound overly dramatic, but I just want to recap the situation for you. At the beginning of July, we have a $3,000 payment due to our adoption agency. We had a little bit of money that could go to that payment, but then […]
I have a few more things to say about our blessed yard sale (which, by the way, including 2 online donations and some craigslist sells, has now exceeded $3,000), but today I thought I would just leave you with this precious gem:
I am in shock. Good shock. I’ve cried, stopped, then cried again. I can’t stop smiling. Did I mention we have a $3000 payment due this summer? Did I mention that when we first started the adoption process we truly and strongly felt God telling us that HE would provide if we would just trust […]
So, you will probably not be seeing any blog posts from me this week. Our Big Yard Sale fundraiser is this weekend June 4-5, and I have a house and garage full of other’s people’s stuff that needs to be organized, categorized, priced and stored or displayed. The whole thing is pretty stressful, actually! But […]
My friend Rory sent me an email this morning with a link to this website. As I scrolled down, my eye caught this picture below, and I was frozen. I recognized the outline of Thailand immediately, and I was glued to the gorgeous fabric and how stunning it looked on the stark black. I felt […]
**UPDATE: The flower planter already sold! Seriously! Let’s just say a supportive and flower-loving family member happened to see it in person and talked her husband into it. 🙂 But I have to keep this post up to prove that I blogged this week. I’m considering it the first $200 towards our yard sale! HOORAY! […]
If you don’t watch LOST, then don’t bother reading this post. I really shouldn’t do this. I don’t really have time, and this is not really the place. But the show LOST has been a big part of our culture over the last 6 years, and Trent and I are huge fans. We were both […]
I know I’m biased, but I think my son is pretty smart. He’s got the whole firstborn child vibe going–a natural leader, quick learner, etc. (Speaking of leading, today at a playdate with his besties, I overheard him declaring that their name was The Superheroes who Save Animals, and he divided up tasks between the […]
Quick post. In the last few months, I’ve seen some amazing ways that people are supporting us and our adoption. I wanted to give you a few examples. First, prayer and moral/verbal support. It has been felt! I love when someone is truly interested and excited for us. Friends wrote us letters telling us their […]
