Back-logged But Blessed

Yes, I realize that it has been quite a while since my last post I will play a little catch-up here. f I have been so busy with so many blessings lately that I have only had time to do quick little snippets on Facebook.

First off, I have been so busy this weekend with Josiah's and my birthday marathon! Josiah turned 29 on Friday and we all went to Beef's to celebrate after his soccer game (which they won!). Yesterday evening, Josiah's students planned a surprise party for him at our house, so I was busy secretly cleaning all day for that. Lastly, today is my 30th birthday and my extremely, awesome in-laws planned a party for me after church. It was a great weekend!

Lydia and I are flying to Michigan first thing tomorrow morning to visit my family. We will be gone for a week and then my grandmother will be flying back with us the following Monday. I feel a huge weight of guilt leaving my husband home to fend for himself and the girls. It has been a huge job just trying to line up babysitters, prepping lunches, soccer and cheer outfits...so that everything is ready for the entire week I am gone.

My last huge bit of news is that Josiah and I officially in the process of adopting a baby boy! We passed our home study with flying colors and are waiting for a match. We are praying for the Lord to bring along the right birth mother!

That's all our big news!
