Fill with anticipation and excitement!

All the paperwork is slowly but surely coming together. There are steps that we simply just have to sit back and let others do the work = its in their hands when it gets completed. Which can really be nerve wrecking when you are a strong willed, type A, get it done as quickly as possible type of person. Which I ofcourse am! I know God is preparing me for the real wait. The wait to get our picture of our children and then the wait to actually bring them home. But today I am filled with anticipation and excitement b/c things are moving and we are really close to getting all the paperwork ready for Ethiopia. Next week we have our last set of fingerprints and then once those papers arrive, its off to Springfield for our last step before giving that HUGE stack of documents to our caseworker. She will then make final preps for them for Ethiopia. Our goal is to ship them to Ethiopia the first week of August. Fingers crossed with lots of prayer.
We are also gearing up for our big fundraiser. We need for it to be big, b/c we only need $3,400 more to submit all that paperwork! So please please please come and help us spread the word! If you cannot come, but would like to make a contribution...visit our blog and click on the chipin link on the right to make a donation. The fundraiser is going to be a lot of fun! 10 regular games of Bingo with prizes from loads of different home vendors. And three intermission games with bigger prizes and a 50/50 drawing. We are excited to get with friends and family to share our journey and have a night of fun!!!! Keep coming back and I'll try to post as things progress, but remember...its slow!
