Still Alive

Yes, it has been quite a while since I've posted anything to my blog. Life doesn't seem to be lending itself to the blogging world right now. A 10 hour work day as opposed to an 8 1/2 hour work day (the difference in travel time) is quite different, and I am still not used to it. By the time Ariana is in bed it's time for me to read a little bit of a good book and head off to bed myself so I can be ready for another 10 hour work day the next day. I love weekends! I will be in Heartland in exactly 2 weeks. I know everyone knows this, I just can't help sharing my excitement with everyone over and over again.

I have started going to practices for the worship team here at Restoration and will be starting to help with services soon. This is very exciting to me. I love helping lead worship in the house of God. If you can believe this I haven't even played the piano once this entire summer! Yes, this is a very sad phenomena. I haven't had access to a piano (besides a very miserably out-of-tune piano, and I guess I'm not that desperate, or I just want to save everyone's ears). Well, that was a very long run-on parenthesis, was it not? I feel as if I could share millions of different tid bits of information on my life at the moment, but I know people get tired of reading extremely long blog posts, so I will finish for now. Maybe this way I will post a little sooner.

Any Day Now

So, how’s your adoption going? This is the question I get almost daily, and really, I don’t mind. I enjoy explaining the process of adoption to others. If you’re not personally involved in it or connected in some way, it can be hard to understand sometimes, especially since many times it is such a long process. So, how is our personal journey going? Once again we are in a waiting period “hurry up and wait”. We have done everything on our end that we need to do at this point. Our dossier (lots of paperwork) is in Ghana, and we are currently waiting for a referral of a child from Ghana. When will we receive that information? Well, according to our adoption agency, it will be “any day now”. Which literally means it could be tomorrow, or it could be in the next month or two. Right now it is out of our hands and out of the hands of our agency and is in the hands of the government of Ghana. There are some other families that are in front of us, and once those families have been proce

Two For One

Many of you, our family and friends, have already heard about this new fundraiser we are currently doing. The great thing about this fundraiser is that it doesn't cost you any money!!! We have teamed up with two other local families also working on adoptions and Funds2orgs  to do a Shoe Drive. For the months of June and July we are collecting new and gently used shoes. We take shoes of all types and sizes. Dress shoes, tennis shoes, sandals, boots, kids shoes, adult shoes. We cannot accept flip flops or house slippers. Once all the shoes are collected and organized, the company we are working with will come pick up the shoes and pay us for them. We have a HUGE goal of collecting 2,500 pairs of shoes!!! The great thing about this shoe drive is that it serves TWO great purposes. You help us raise funds for our adoptions, and you help those that are in need get a good pair of shoes in developing nations. Two for One, pretty awesome. So, we need YOUR help to reach this goal! W

Thank You

Our t-shirt fundraiser is complete, and shirts are being delivered as we speak. This fundraiser was a great success, bringing in just at $750 for our adoption! We are so excited and thankful to all of you that purchased a shirt. We also happen to be super excited about the shirts themselves and how they turned out! I have yet to get a picture of our entire family in the shirts, otherwise I would have used that picture for this post, but who knows when that will happen, and I didn't want to wait to get this thank you posted.  To all those that purchased a shirt and to all those that have supported us through other fundraisers and YouCaring donations we want to say a huge THANK YOU to you all! Having your support and knowing that you all are behind us in this decision and this journey means the world to us. We couldn't do this without all of you. Your help in raising money, your prayers, and the continuous encouraging words that we receive all help is in continuing o
