Well I have new pictures to show you of our house - but alas I forgot my camera cord, so I cannot upload them on this computer. So you must wait in anticipation! Perhaps they will appear on Wednesday!


Brent is going to the doctor tomorrow. His ankle is not moving and he cannot walk without the help of crutches or a wheelchair! (the wheelchair was used to go to the Winter Jam concert Saturday - it was hilarious!!) So hopefully Dr. Layton will be able to find something.


Adoption update: We are back at square one. For a few reasons:1. this house thing is taking longer than we thought and we are pretty sure that instead of domestic we are going to adopt internationally. Peru being the country of choice. :) I'm really stinkin' excited about this.

But you should know that I was really beginning to struggle with adopting in the first place. Esp. since I feel like we haven't even gotten the ball rolling. Our friends Jay and Tanya are adopting a little boy from Nepal. They started the whole process I think almost the same time Brent and I met with the agency in Birmingham. When Jay told Brent in November, they were about to have their first homestudy. Their adoption seems to be speeding along. Click here to see Tanya's blog.

I though maybe it was just an emotional thing since Brent and I do not have kids yet. Nothing was taking off for us it seemed. Maybe we were just trying to do this ourselves and what we wanted and not what God wanted at all. I was praying through it one day and just asking the Lord and telling Him about all my concerns and worries and the next day - what comes in the mail - Southwestern News - what is the WHOLE. ENTIRE. magazine about - ADOPTION. I am not kidding. Plus the rest of week it seemed like everything I saw or picked up - was about adoption. It just happened. I didn't plan any of it. I thought okay Lord - I got it now. Thanks. :)

Now we are just waiting until we are in our house and ready to fill out the application form. This will probably be March or April, but as soon as possible. :)

I am also apply for a job this week. I'd really love to work at this job. So please pray that the Lord might see fit that I get the job. Thanks!! :)
