We're on our way!

We made to it the airport, at Huntsville anyway. We got all of our 360 lbs of luggage in and checked half of it. We are so excited to see our little girl tomorrow! I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. We will be in Dallas tonight and then off to Guat early in the morning. If you need to contact us, you will have to email/post on our blog b/c we will not have phone access after 7 in the morning. Can't wait to post pictures! See you all in a week. And Brittany, if you read this, take good care of our four-legged babies!

Waiting to see her

While we are counting down the days til we see and hold our little Rosa, we got a sweet little gift today. New pics of Rosa. She will be 5 months old this week.

We have been racking our brains trying to come up with something really special to take to her so Friday night we went to Build-A-Bear and made Teddy Bears to take to our girls. We were able to put a recording of our voices in it so she can become familiar with us. We forgot to bring the camera, of course, so we asked a very kind couple with a camera to take our picture and he emailed it to us.
We are counting, tomorrow we will be in the single digits!

God is providing!

When we started this adoption process, I was really worried about how we would pay for everything. I talked to several others who have/are adopting and they all told me the same thing, God will provide. A little skeptical, we moved forward and found that as each new thing came up, we had the money to pay for it. God is good, but soon we will have to start paying for the more expensive part of adoption, the attorney fees and we just don't have thousands of $$$ in the bank waiting to be spent. But some wonderful friends have stepped forward and are able to bless us. I also started a Home & Garden Party fundraiser today and I have already earned $150. I guess it's like the manna God provided for the Israelites. He did not provide it for them all at once, He only gave them what they needed, when they needed it. If they took too much, it would spoil. So I guess God is providing for us what we need when we need it. Thank you God!

(only 19 days till we meet our sweet Rosa!)

It's all set!

We made arrangements today for Rosa to spend a couple of days with us while we are in Guatemala. On Saturday March 29th at 4pm we will meet our sweet Rosa! We are so excited. We are praying that things will work out for us to have both of our girls at the same time so we can make our 1st family photo, which we will surprise our parents with! Then this blog will finally be open to the public! We will share our little surprise with our family and friends as soon as we get back from Guatemala! Only 19 more days...

DNA-done!

We found out today that the DNA was done on Tuesday, the 26th, now we are just waiting for the results to make sure it's a match! If all goes well, we will get to spend time with Rosa when we visit in... 25DAYS!!!!
