I just wanted to write a quick note and say thank you for all your support during our fall yard sale. We made just under $600! Thanks to everyone who came out and those that donated items! We couldn't have hoped for a better turn out (especially considering it was so cold!). A special thanks to my Mom, my sisters Christina and Catie, and my brother Michael who withstood the cold with me all weekend. I couldn't have done it without you!
We're still on track to start at the end of November. Yes, we are impatient and moved up the date. I think I mentioned this in a previous blog, but I can't remember and am too lazy to reread everything we wrote before :-). We decided to start in the beginning of December so John could have a good month during school break to be really involved in the beginning of the process. Then I was really impatient, and John caved and said we could put in the application right after Thanksgiving. That's right, T-41 days and counting! I know that many people aren't as lucky as we are and have to wait so much longer to start an adoption, but I don't want to wait any longer than I have to!
I now call myself a 'stalker mom.' I have the time and weather saved on my phone for Bogota and check it regularly. I look at the temperature and drive myself crazy hoping the kids have enough blankets! So before I can become a soccer mom, I have to spend my time as a stalker mom. Not quite as creepy as it sounds...for now :-). I just can't wait to meet our kids!
Thanks for your support everyone and I'll let you know when the cookbooks come in! I'm thinking of putting a link online so you can purchase them and have them sent to your house - easier for you and me!
