Hope......

Well, there is a bit of adoption news! We have been matched again. I won't share all the details just yet but we will know in the next 2 weeks if we will be bringing our baby home. It is all very exciting but we are very guarded as well.

One of these days........when we get to welcome our baby into our home.......you all will hear me scream it from the mountain top! As most of you know.....I am not exactly a "quiet" person nor am I shy nor am I able to keep secrets very well. So, this is very HARD to withhold from everyone. All I can tell you is that.......we are cautiously optomistic.

On a related note: God is moving in our lives. Especially in mine. I have been really leaning on the Word and digging deep for some guidance. Praise for that! It has been a challenging month in more ways than one. Probably the most challenging and difficult time in my life and by God's grace I have a sense of peace in my heart. It is an amazing feeling. You all know how I usually react in a crisis..............yep.......I freak OUT! :) Not that I don't have my moments.....but still.

I have a couple prayer requests: Please pray for my mom. She is going to have surgery in the next couple weeks. Please pray for her strength, faith and recovery. She is an amazing person and I am so thankful for her every day. Pray for her to lean on God during this difficult time and know that He is in control and He knows what is best for her.

Pray for our adoption situation and all that that involves. Guidance, patience, FAITH that God has a plan and a reason.

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and your support. This journey is filled with ups and downs and we wouldn't be able to make it through without all of you.

love,
jenny

October Showers???

So, it has been very rainy for the past few weeks. We went from one extreme of drought and heat in the summer to rain and no sun for going on 2 weeks. I guess we are in for a wet fall and winter.

Not much news on the adoption front. We are still waiting to be chosen but we know that the day will come before we know it. Our adoption agency is holding their annual fundraising gala on Nov. 3rd and we have not yet decided if we are going to go. In fact we have not really even talked about it much. It is on a Tuesday which is the night that Jenny teaches her Weight Watcher class so she would have to find a sub for her class.

Anyways, we are just hanging out and enjoying being able to do things without debt.

More to come I'm sure.
