Today...

Today is a busy day. We may be buying a camper, I am headed to the doctor, Gabby has school pictures and I am doing a little more house shopping with our realitor.

The camper. . .Andy and I have been doing tons of research on campers for the past month (who would have EVER thought?) and we have found a couple we are really excited about! We both fell in love with car camping and we are so excited to do much more of it in the future!!! October actually has two car camping weekends already in the works! We'll see what ends up happening today. . .Andy could decide to be practical, but I'm thinking that the look in his eyes when he left the house this morning was a NO on the practical (which I am SO fine with).

The doctor. . .no big deal. Just getting in the "groove" of living in Durango and that means doctors appointments and such. They will be running a couple of tests today that you can be praying for, but I think all will be fine.

School pictures. . .Gabby has her first school pictures and she looked adorable this morning! Her hair was so darling (I am so thankful to have Lesley living with us for so many reasons and Gabby's hair is one of those many reasons). Have you seen "Your Hair," (I think that is the name), the movie by Chris Rock? It is so relative to me right now since my relaxing accident! In the movie, they call the relaxer "Creamy Crack" and it is so true. It is SO BAD for Gabby's hair, but once you do it, you love it! Oh well. Thanks to the creamy crack, her hair looked so darling today!

And house shopping. . .we are still renting here in Durango because our Branson house has yet to sell, but with interest rates the way they are, we would be smarter to buy rather than to throw all of this rent money into the trash. So, I have been house shopping for several weeks. Last week I fell in love with a very quirky house that is so not me, but so fun to dream about. Today we are going to see some more traditional "me" houses, but right now the quirky house has my heart. We'll see!

So, that is my cold and rainy Wednesday in a nutshell. It should be fun!

Quirky sounds fun to me! Camping trips with the fam sound way fun too!

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
