The Count Down Begins!

I leave in 26 DAYS to pick up Marina from the Atlanta airport!!!  And we get to keep her for 7 weeks... WHOO HOO!  Can you tell that we are a little excited here in the Green house.  Marbella and Milana continue to draw pictures for her and make her cards... she will be welcomed with open arms and lots of paper!  :)  The countdown has begun...

On another note... OH MY GOODNESS... 72 tickets have been sold for the Miche raffle so far and the drawing isn't until Saturday, the 16th!!!  Only 28 more tickets to reach my goal of giving away 4 bundles!!!  Seriously, your support is amazing and I can't thank you enough.  It truly blows my mind!!!

While she is here, we are going to teach her to play BUNKO!!!  If you are interested in playing with us, let me know!  I think it will be a blast!!!  We will plan it either mid July or early August and determine the venue once we know how many want to join us.

Thank you all for your prayers.  I can't continue to comment enough on how thankful we are for your support.  There are times when we get so wrapped up in all of the things that need to get done in order to make the adoption happen that we forget to sit down and rest in God's presence... in His provision... in His peace... in His arms.  These are the times we are counting on YOU, and I am so thankful that we have you to count on!  Please don't stop praying!!!  We need your prayers... Marina needs your prayers... and we as a family unit need your prayers!  As I write this, tears come to my eyes because I can feel your prayers.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
