Fundraiser This Sat

Hey,
I just wanted to send out a THANK YOU to Chris's family for holding a fundraiser this Saturday for us. The are having a lunch in their backyard. Please pray for GREAT WEATHER!

We have been waiting for the FBI clearance and I was thinking that we had our application in for a long time! The clearance can take up to 12 weeks. And I looked back and our application has only been in for 5 weeks!! Seems like a lot longer than that.

Update on the profile. Since I haven't recieved any e-mails I am assuming that none of you find us interesting!!!:-) Just kidding. Seriously, though this is something that we really do need your help with. It is hard to look at ourselves from an outside perspective. This profile is the most important thing we will do in this process. This is what the birthparents look through to choose a family for their child! Please help us. We would really appreciate it!!

Waiting...

Hey,
We are still waiting on the FBI clearance. Although I am grateful that we don't have to wait on immigration. I have heard horror stories about that! Gladney did recieve our homestudy and all that isn't in are the FBI.

We have been getting ready slowly. We have gathered a few things for the nursery. Two of my friends and I went to a big consignment sale and I found a few good deals!

I have been starting to think about the profile. I am starting to realize how completly overwhelming it is going to be. So I am trying to be proactive. If anyone can think of any ideas of things about us that would make us interesting. Please email me. If I don't get any emails then I will know that none of you think that we are interesting!! So I'd better get a full inbox:)
