Yay! Our fundraiser did wonderful! We were blessed in so many ways! We had a lot of family & friends that came to help. They had baked goodies, bought wrapping supplies, spread the word out about the fundraiser, and helped wrap the gifts! We truly have the best support system in the world! Our baby already has a lot of people who love him/her! There are so many people to thank! I just want to say "thank you from our hearts" to all of them. If I listed them all, I might leave one out & I certainly don't want to do that. We raised more than we expected! We raised almost $600! Wow! We so weren't expecting that! And, we only had 2 people come to get their gifts wrapped! How crazy is that!? We had more show up, but they didn't bring gifts. They bought a lot of the home made baked goodies. They were so yummy too! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that baked, wrapped, donated, and prayed for us! Of course we thank most of all our Wonderful Maker! He is our Jehovah Jireh, provider!
We also sold some Christmas cards! We have wonderful friends that have adopted 2 girls. One is from China & the other is from Cambodia. They do something every year for children in other countries that don't have a mommy & daddy. This year the little girls decided they wanted to help us bring our baby home. So, they made Christmas cards, had them printed, and are selling them to help us raise money! They are so sweet! The cards were a hit too! Everyone loved them!
Now, I'm getting ready for tomorrow (or right after this post)! :) We have our 2nd home study visit after church. This will be our individual visits. She'll talk to us one @ the time. We're a little nervous, but not as much as our first visit! At least we've met our SW & have talked with her. So, I'm gonna go and clean a little. Just a little though b/c I know it's nothing to stress about! Well, I'll try not to stress anyway, but knowing me, I will. Now, off to clean!
Have a great night!

praise the Lord! we had our individual visits today. they weren't bad at all!
Praise the Lord for his provision. Hopefully we will be available in person for your next fund raiser. Just let us know when it will be. We love you and continue to pray for your little one daily!
Thank you! You weren't there in person, but I know you were both praying for us, & that is a VERY important part! Love you too!
