We are still here...

All I can say is waiting STINKS! I don't think I will ever be good at it. Because the girls are over the age of two, passing court is not our last obstacle. They will have to pass TB tests before we can travel to get them. I can't even think about them not passing, so I am not going to go there!

Today Monte and I have been married NINE years. Nine years ago I wed my man beside the Maine ocean side. It was wonderful! I am more in love with him today and I can't imagine my life without him. God has given me an amazing spouse. I am so very thankful. We are not doing anything fancy. We rented the movie Fireproof and will watch that once the boys are in bed. With our upcoming trip to Africa, spending $5 for the movie is about all we can spare. :)

I HOPE we hear something today. What a wonderful anniversary gift that would be!

One Year!!

Monday marks my one year anniversary of blogging!! I originally started the blogg for our family and friends who live far away. I thought it would give them a chance to keep up with the boys in our day to day life (hence the name). I also knew I wanted to journal our adoption experience. I never knew I would meet such amazing people in the process. I have also gotten to know many of my local friends better. So, in honor of all of you I am doing a giveaway.

I am giving away one $20 giftcard. The great thing is, you can pick from the following.

TARGET
STARBUCKS
BARNES & NOBLE
DUNKIN DONUTS
KROGER
BED, BATH & BEYOND

All you have to do is leave a comment and let me know which location you would prefer. If you are not a blogger, just make sure you leave your email address. I will pick a winner (via random drawing) on Monday night!
