Dossier Completed...CHECK!

Well, today was the BIG day! I made my way to FedEx and sent off a nice little packet made up of 6 months of work! Yes, it took us a little longer than most, but that's ok. God's timing is perfect

The G.O.S.P.E.L Explained

I Love Jesus. I know He Loves Me!
I know how Salvation works and I know that what I believe is the Truth.
What I am not good at is explaining it elegantly or in a way that I feel moves people. 
I'm just not good with words.
But here is someone that is, and I think he explains pretty good. 
I saw saw this video a while ago, but forgot to share with everyone on here.
So here you go, enjoy, and please listen closely, because what he's saying is pretty amazing and True!

Immunizations!

Well Today Brad and I went to get our immunizations! I'm very excited because that means we're one step closer....but on the other hand, my arms now feel like jello and that I've been beat up! I'm sure once that feeling goes away, I'll be back to excited! 

AND.... we are just waiting on one paper to get sent to us, and our dossier is complete! YAY! It took 6 months to get everything together, but I'm SURE it will all be worth it in the end!

Almost There!

Well everyone, I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Well, at least as far as our dossier goes. We just need one more thing notarized and our fingerprints to come back... hopefully, they don't take too long! I have seen some people's come back very fast and others....well, not so fast.  As soon as that happens, we can send everything in! It feels like this stage of the adoption has taken us forever to get to, but it really has only been 5 months since we started working on our dossier. And when you take a step back and look at the big picture, that's not that long! Well that's our update for now! Hopefully in the next month we'll have more news to share! 


In other news...the Midwest has finally gotten it's first real snow!
Not that I really like snow, I actually don't, but it is January now, and I guess Winter just wouldn't be the same without it!
