So tonight I thought that we would do something completely different.  We created a video to post on the blog.  After about 6 takes, saying "um" a lot & talking about how Frank Burns on MASH reminds me of Dwight Schrute from The Office (a ha...you see it too, right?!), it didn't post.  Boo!  Just another thing we need to figure out for the future of our blog.  We seriously need some lessons here.  :)

We have lots of good things to share with you!  First, we received a grant that we applied for!  Hooray!  That means that we are about half way there financially!  Yay for JSC Foundation!!

We had a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser a few weeks ago which was awesome!  I am so thankful for all of you that showed up, that helped to plan & prepare & donate items to be sold at the silent auction.  Can you believe that Mom Martin's cookie tray went for $82!  Incredible!  And it's funny that both of the gym memberships went for much less.  haha!  Priorities!!  ;)

We had our 2 hour conference call with Bethany at the beginning of the month after we finished our waiting child paperwork.  After that phone call, we officially became a waiting family!  Now we just have to wait to be matched with a child.  Bethany (our agency) said that the average wait time right now is between 6-9 months (and then we travel 6 months after that).  That is the average wait time.  And we all know that there is nothing average about us.  :)  Truth is, God already has us "matched" to our child.  He knows who they are.  We just have to wait & trust in His perfect timing.  I know that sounds all spiritual but I am totally freaking out!  haha...just kidding.  Right now, we can only take it day by day.  Soon.  Soon Caylee will be a big sister.  Soon we will travel.  Soon we will be back with our precious new child.  But for now....we wait.
