Oh, such a relief and a cause for celebration! Congratulations. You are fit to be parents! As if you didn't already know that. 🙂

Resubmitted:)

Donna, our home study coordinator, worked tirelessly last night and by midnight I received an email our revisions and updates had been submitted. Praying today not for speed—but for God’s timing. Wow. Did I really just say that? To be continued:)

That is great news!

Also, followed your great post about the movie taping last month. Hoping your assessment of Josh is more accurate than the one in the tabloids right now!

Well, I’ll be!

Yep–our home study coordinator said our study is being submitted TODAY to AGCI. Kuddos to the hubby for jumping through the last hoop! And super kuddos to our home study coordinator for working […]

Have a GREAT visit!

The God of this City…

Today I felt like I was in a movie. Are you ever doing something that just feels so meaningful and in the moment of doing it you feel like you can here the music playing as you walk…the winds blowing…cars and people are racing by…part of you wants to walk faster and let the music […]

That is so funny! I was doing the same thing yesterday at the TN state capitol. I seriously circled 5 times looking for a parking. I finally said a prayer and circled the next time and there was my spot. I didn't even have to parallel park. It was on the end! THANK YOU GOD! Oh and did I mention I had my baby with me. I was pushing her through the streets in her stroller…I too felt like I was in a movie because I was trying to get back to my car before the parking meter ran out. Too funny that we were doing the same thing yesterday.
Blessings,
Amy

That post…..sounds like my life….hmmm….love it!!!!! You are almost there and I am sooo excited for you. I love the fact of NOT parallel parking (3 Blessings). My husband laughs at me- being from a suburb of England- he thinks it is crazy that my parking skills are almost a 0! He he he. Hey, I just blame it on our huge 15 passenger…and the suburban that we had before that….and the mini van before that….and the car before that….he he he…I am just not a talented at parking.

The important part is you do get to have a baby soon- forever….and that will be AWESOME!!!

I love this sweet post!!! I know your little one will love it too. I can't wait for you to get your approval and get on the LIST! I'm so glad that your day was so good, God is so faithful!!
