We Are So Close To The Beginning!

We are on the final stretch to bring home Gracie and Oliver!  It has been a long and tedious journey.  However, we have grown so much along the way.  There has been a lot of shifting.  Shifting of priorities, shifting of bedrooms, shifting of expectations and a shifting in our hearts.  Some days I feel like the Grinch on when "his heart grew three sizes that day".  We are walking in thankfulness and trust.  We have been wrapped in the loving arms of our church family from day one!  We could not have walked this journey alone, many times our friends have lifted us when we felt all was lost.  We will be forever thankful!!

We have about eight weeks until travel...eeek!  There is a practice suitcase in the living room filling up with items and when I'm bored I try to figure out how to fit it all in there!  We have 3 things left to overcome.  We need to pay our orphanage fees and our travel.  This totals about $16,000.  We will be posting many items for sale on our facebook page "Bringing Home Gracie and Oliver".  Feel free to come on over and like our page.

We are excited to have a FSP on Reece's Rainbow now.  You can donate directly to us through them at the button on the right.  We appreciate all that they do for so many orphans and families!  That is the site where we first found Gracie!
