We are going to be parents!

It has been a while since I have posted and I have some news! We got a call from SD on December 14. We were the family selected to adopt an adorable little 3 year old boy named Jerrell. What an amazing Christmas miricle. TJ and I are now crazy busy not just with Christmas but also with getting everything set up for Jerrell to come home. If everything goes well than we should travel up to SD the last week of January to meet our son! There are still some things that could slow up the process if not halt it all the way. So many prayers are being said that things will go smoothly. We can totally see God in this though. We have come into quite a bit of money unexpectantly that will help a lot in the travel and preperation for bringing Jerrell home. We are so excited. I am going to be able to be a stay at home mom and so I am extremly excited about that. It will be a totally new world for me and TJ. We are used to having 2 full time pay checks and I make almost as much as he does! To go from making that much and having a nicely padded account and savings account to only having one income will be an adjustment. It will be odd to actually have to budget! My husband is awesome and works so hard to support us and has a pretty good job so money is no really a worry but it will still be an adjustment! Right now we are having so much fun getting prepared to bring him home. J will be one spoiled little boy. He is the first grandkid on my side of the family. I am not sure who is more excited, me and TJ or my brothers. They are going to have a blast teaching him all sorts of things and buying him the most annoying toys there are! Our friends' little girl is already asking for him to come over and play. This little boy is so loved and we just pray that things continue to go smoothly and in about a month we will get to meet our little boy!
