BEST NEWS

It's been a bit since I've been on here. I haven't had any time to just talk or write. It's been a great week though. We went home for a few days this last week. I love doing yard work. Oh, I missed it so much. Even in the rain :) We got to spend time with friends and family. You couldn't ask for a better Vacation. Although....it does not fall within the "Dream Vacation" realm. Have any of you been to the 'Melting Pot' in Portland? YOU HAVE TO GO. It was absolutely wonderful. I recommend taking great friends with you. It definitely made the evening. And the food......YUMMY. GO! Enough said.

The best news: We have decided that we are ready to be a family!!! Can you believe it? After 14 years of trying to do it naturally.....we have decided that adoption is the way for us. We are so excited. We start all of the classes and home studies this next month. And who knows, we might have a family by Christmas. Maybe. We are so ready for this next step in life. I know I wouldn't have been ready if it weren't for such great friends. Seeing them be a family and how much they wouldn't trade it for the world. All the love and frustration that comes with it :) We are hoping to find a family group. Maybe 3-4 siblings that need parents. We thought.....if we are going to do it....we might as well do it. All the advice you can give us will be greatly appreciated. I know my bookclub group will be immersed with questions. I know I will be making a list.

Blog to you soon ~
