to bake or not to bake...

Well the day is almost over..I really want to bake a cake. But the more important question is, "If I want to eat it all too?" Hmm, homemade chocolate cake versus a couple extra pounds? Well considering I was just ask to be in one of my dear friends wedding, I should probably just say no! 

I had {hopefully} one of my last visits with the social worker today!  For those of you who don't know me, my husband and I are in the process of finalizing our daughters adoption.  We have 1 biological child, our son Tyler and 2 adopted children, Raejah who was "officially" ours last year and Zoe who will soon be "officially" ours in the near future.  What a crazy/wonderful/nail biting experience this has been.  We started this process around 3 years or so ago.  After finding out that we could not have anymore children or let me rephrase that-anymore children unless we wanted to undergo fertility options...after long consideration and even a few trips to the fertility place, we decided that it wasn't an option meant for us.  {we do not have anything against this choice for others though}
Thus coming to the decision to adopt! yay... now on to private, foster, international.....so many choices and so many wonderful children that are waiting for their forever homes.  After reading up on all the different options we decided to adopt within our states foster care system.  We found a great {and local} adoption agency and got the process going!
-paperwork-background checks-classes-CPR/first.aid-tears-waiting-more classes-more tears-nail biting-anxiety-aww calls that turned into nothing-almost placements and more nerves to be trampled on....

but it was all worth it, I got my 2 beautiful daughters when I was least expecting it~god does work in mysterious ways!~ and if you ask me if I would do it all again....
YES, IN A HEARTBEAT!


This post may validate my ADD...just a little :)

ho..hum..

Well today is Wednesday! I decided to clean my house and not just the normal pick up, run the vacuum and call it a day. No, I decided to re-arrange my living room, dust, sweep and mop...and why then am I on the computer you ask? Because my kids decided to fall asleep in the midst of it all and I don't want to wake up the little angels/monsters! So I decided to blog a little as I sit here on my couch {that is now in the middle of the floor next to my tv.} Hmm.. I don't think the hubby is going to be too excited when he walks into the door.  I did want to talk a little bit about my new crafting hobby that I have been pursuing.  Sewing fabric flowers and making hair clippies and working with felt. {yes, felt!}   I will have to post some pics because writing about them will not do them justice! I am not what you would call a "sewing gal" but I have been dabbling about and have come to realize that it is fun, relaxing and alot easier than it seems! Well I should probably at least push my furniture around a bit more and then it is off to the park with the family! Have a great day and I will leave you with this wonderful quote I found:

"May we never let the things we can't have or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have."
