Where Should I Begin...

Sooooooo many new things have happened in our lives in the past 1.5 months (my last blog).  This doesn't surprise me since EVERYTHING with DH and I moves at rapid speed! lol

*New Thing 1*:  DH and I are working on Week 4 at our new home.  We decided to take the plunge and purchase a home that was bigger so that when "Baby B" comes along it won't be such a tight squeeze for space.  We purchased a home that we LOVE and have been working on getting everything situated just the way we want it.

*New Thing 2*:  DH and I decided to move forward with foster care.  Foster care is something I hold very dear to my heart.  I have witnessed 7 children come in and out of my home and and return to family members while previously being a foster mommy before I met DH.  I have always been passionate about it.  Working with children everyday in my profession I see what the need is for good, stable homes for these children.  There just aren't enough!  Ultimately, we want to adopt out of foster care (along with our adoption agency).  We would love to have several children and will pray God sees fit for us to do so.

*New Thing 3*:  We have been officially "waiting" for a match through our adoption agency for 7.5 months now.  I have spoken to the social workers several times via email just asking for updates with our profile.  There have been several birthmoms view our profile thus far, but for whatever reason we weren't matched.  This is ok.  We know God has hand picked our child for us and when the time is right He will reveal the child to us.  So it continues to be a waiting game...aka Test In Patience.

*New Thing 4*:  DH and I both survived this past school year and are now out for the summer!!!!!  This last group of kiddos were a challenged (to say the least) but we all worked together to help develop these children and prepare them for the years to come.  Some days it was a struggle, but others it was a breeze.  I must say, I've had some interesting stories from this group! lol

I plan to get back in the swing of blogging full time again.  I've missed it.  I've missed expressing my thoughts.  I've missed connecting with my Blog Friends and reading your stories about daily life experiences.  I've just missed YOU!
