Buckeye Madness!!!

So my best friend Kacie came up with another amazing fundraiser idea ... and I will have to admit I wasn't very confident in the idea that people would want to actually buy them. But boy was I WRONG!!!! Holy Cow! Seriously we have only been selling them for TWO, count them TWO DAYS and we already have over 76 dozen to make! That is over 912 buckeyes to make. How crazy is that!?! We were going to have a Buckeye Making party on Wednesday night ... but I guess I will be having a Buckeye making party allll weekend! HA! :0)

I just really can't get over how many people are partnering in on this journey with us. We now have a total of $1232.75 pledged for our adoption fund now! Both Alya and I just feel so blessed to be on this current adventure in our lives. I just really can't wait to bring a little baby home to share with all of these amazing friends and family that helped bring them home.

I went to an adoption ministry get together this past weekend and I met a woman who is good friends with the woman who started the adoption agency we are going to go wtih. She has known her for the last 12 years ... and I was just so excited to yet again find someone else that had a relationship with this agency. I am so excited to start working with them ... and I feel like that day is coming near! We are hoping to send in our application either just before or just after Christmas. I had FSS fax a copy of our homestudy to the adoption agency to see if it would be approved or not. If not then it will cost us and additional $1,300. So we are really praying that it is approved. It's funny at how much peace I feel about this process. I feel a little overwhelmed at times when I catch myself thinking about how the cost seems so impossible ... but then I just remind myself that it's all in God's hands and I don't have one single thing to worry about! I am so excited to see how HE is going to work in all of this. I am aching to hold my little baby in my arms ... I can't wait for that miracle. <3
