Moving forward...

Wow, so last week we officially signed a contract (and wrote a hefty check!) with Adoption Answer, an adoption facilitator. It feels so good to be moving forward with this group. The director is pretty much amazing and has made us feel loved and cared for already, and we only met once!

After we got the contract signed, we went right to work on our books. I bought a publishing program and worked my tail off on them. They turned out pretty darn good...if I don't say so myself! They are all printed and on Wednesday morning, I am gonna take them to their office in Riverside and hopefully it won't be long till we are shown to birth mothers. And even more, we are praying it will be a quick process...we hope to get matched quick.

Lately, I have been thinking and listening to God a lot. When I think about this process, and how I think God wants out story to look like, I always get this amazing excitement and peace about things moving really quick. Like, we get a call from the hospital, quick. So lately I have been telling God that if that is what He has planned, we are on board. We have a baby's room done, diapers and formula for a month, and hearts that are so ready to love a child of our own. My stomach is getting those excited flutters just thinking about being a mom soon.

We have an awesome vacation planned for September, actually for the week of my 25Th Birthday. We are going to Disney World to visit Mike's little brother Jon who is working as a chef there. I'm so excited to be able to do this...we have free flights, free entrance into the parks, and 1/2 off our hotel! Amazing! But Mike made a comment that gets me even more excited for this trip...he really feels like we will either be bringing a baby with us or we will be having to cancel last minute because we are getting our child. I mean I know that God may totally have other plans but its amazing how He has given Mike and I these little feelings of hope and peace.

Our God is so great and I love knowing that He is there for us...and has been from day 1. He has walked with us through our valleys and our peaks and right now, we are joyful in what He is doing because we truly feel that HE is doing something amazing in our lives and is definitely leading us in our lives!!!
