Well, two bits of good news! First, and the most exciting (at least to ME) is that the adoption agency contacted us and we are having a phone interview next week! One step closer to getting approved and on their waiting list! I love when I get contacted about little things like this that I didn't know where part of the process. It makes me feel like I'm DOING something. After a while of just sitting and waiting you start to become frustrated. I've been sitting here wondering when someone would contact me about approval, but I wasn't expecting it for a while since their website says approval can take a few months after they receive our packet. I'm still not sure if we'll be approved soon after this phone interview or not, but hey, at least it's something!
Second, and a big blessing...I start a new job in November! It was tough decision because I love all the people I work with right now, but, sometimes we just have to take a leap of faith. Definitely praying that this step will help us breathe a little easier and save the rest of the money we need for this adoption. When we think there is no hope and that things won't get better, God likes to prove us wrong...

Ugh
Yup. That about describes the past few weeks. I've been avoiding writing a post because there hasn't been much "positive" to report on. Financially and emotionally it's been one blow after the next. You'd think I'd be getting used to this by now, because that seems to be the theme lately. I won't get into it all (because really, who cares about every single one of my financial woes? I'll spare you the details...you can thank me later :) ), but lets just say things have been topped off this week with both of our cars ending up in the shop in the course of 3 days.
As I sat in the parking lot today after about 10 minutes of trying to start my car, I closed my eyes and was like, "Really, Lord? Seriously? More? Now". We all go through our ups and downs with how positive we allow ourselves to stay. A few months ago I would say I was having a great attitude, even when the day brought me frustration and a new battle to persevere through. Today, not so much. Today my attitude stunk like Gorgonzola cheese left of the kitchen counter for a week.
That's all folks. Today, rotten cheese.
Tomorrow...praying for cheese cake.
