My CRAZY AWESOME brother, Mike has made the transition smooth for me. It's crazy raining outside, so we thought it was the perfect time to make the big blog move together!!!! I have some new rules set by my sibling... I can't add 10 exclamation points after things that make me happy. I can't bold big words or use improper grammar or add a ton of................... these little buggers.

The REAL reason I have a new blog... prayerfully we will launch our new non-profit and start making a huge impact with adoptions. I'll give you the scoop soon:))) ohhhhh yay, I can't do the happy smile thing either. Oh well, I love a new challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye Blogspot!!

Happy 70th Mom!!

My mom is turning 70! We are spending a special week with the birthday girl with our entire family in Florida. What an amazing gift... thank you gramma!! We feel like we're getting a present, too:) Hopefully I can steal away to post some fun pics!!

No Regrets.

I wanted you to know the behind the scenes from my "Spill the Beans" post last week. Roger and I fell in love with 2 older girls over a month ago on the AW WC list. We were originally going to wait for Zoie to turn 2 before plunging in the adoption adventure again, but we felt very ambitious to quick start the process. Love at first sight.

We are at the very beginning stages... actually still waiting to get the phone call that we are approved again. It's so different than when we first started the adoption process several years ago... waiting for Zoie. I feel like an old pro now.

The really crazy part, both girls had been on the waiting list for a long time, but last week both photos had new words under them. It hit me like a brick.
For weeks, every time I would peek at W's photo ... I was praying for her new mommy & daddy, but I really thought we had a shot.
Honestly, I had no idea my heart would respond *crash* when I saw those words... File Under Review.

I knew we were too late. I wept and then it hit me hard & fast...no regrets.
God has already planned WHO these beautiful girl's parents will be.
He's planned it and I can trust His plans are perfect. His timing is perfect.
Forget about feeling like an old pro... I'm back again, daily renewal, waiting, dreaming, hoping and trusting.
I want to wait for our blessings. They're out there waiting for us:)

We are requesting 2 older girls, unrelated, ages... 3 to 12.
It's so exciting to see how God will direct our steps. It feels soooo good to be back in the crazy adventure of adoption.

Zoie LIVE and the judge.

Bloggy friends... we wanted to share with you Zoie's re-adoption day LIVE! My sweet H was the film maker, but she accidentally cut it off at the finale. ooops! What a special day!! A few adoption "peeps" have asked me if the process to re-adopt is difficult, but as you can see it's simple to do. We had an amazing lawyer help us from A to Z. Thanks Mr. Farris!!
