Quick Update

     I wanted to take a moment to give you all a quick update.  As we all know, this journey we have started on is a long one, but I hope to keep friends and family in the know as much as possible.  We are so grateful for you continued prayers and support. 
     We are getting ready to send off our home study application this coming week.  The home study involves gathering documents and completing paperwork that must be compiled in order for the adoption process to continue.  We will also have a couple of visits from a social worker and have some education on how we can best meet the needs of our child.  We look forward to the next leg of our journey and welcome your prayers and encouragement.
     Our coffee sales continue to rise thanks as word is getting out about what we're doing.  Thanks to everyone that has purchased some and thanks to those who have been selling it for us!  We continue to have handmade jewelry for sale at Missions Pottery and More and at our coffee shop, Perfect Blend.  We have a few fundraising things in the works for after we finish our home study.  Once we finish the home study we will be able to apply for grants and some of those grants are matching grants.  In other words, if we receive the grant they will double whatever we make at our fundraiser up to a certain amount.  So we're trying to plan some larger fundraiser soon!  We are hoping to have a BIG yard sale where all proceeds will go to the adoption.  If you are getting ready to do some spring cleaning, we will take your cast offs =)  Also, we are planning to have a fundraising night at the coffee shop with a silent auction.  If you or anyone you know owns a business or could get an item donated, that would be awesome!  We also have some friends and family that are helping to plan a benefit concert.  Through this process, we are definitely finding out how much we are loved and how much our little one is already loved (even though no one has even met them yet).  I can't wait to tell them of stories of how VERY wanted they were and how a family and community came together to bring them home!

If you have any items for the yard sale or any silent auction items, you can e-mail me at
