I am a mother of two sweet girls and a wild, precious little boy, born in Korea. A wife of an awesome husband who happens to be my best friend in the world. My goal in life is to be used by God to bring Him glory. I am on a journey through this life to do just that, only with His help.

Hi, I'm still here.

We are home from our lovely and exhausting vacation. I will be sure to post more later on the details and pictures of course! I wanted to let my loyal readers (all two of you) that we had our first homestudy visit yesterday and it went great. We will have another visit later this week. The social worker said then she will "write it up" and send it off to Korea. That is the point where we actually begin waiting. Right now we are waiting to wait, but a step in the right direction is always good.

Feeling regretful.

I was feeling a little guilty about my last post, which I actually deleted. Not that the incident shouldn't have bothered me, it did. I just thought maybe I was a little overly sensitive and felt I should remove the post. Thanks to the two girls who commented. I appreciate the fact that you've got my back.

A burning hot night.

Yesterday we hosted a bonfire for our Sunday school class. We had a blast. The fire(once it got going) was a blazin' inferno. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, for the ever delicious S'mores (yum, Hey, I was good and only had one) There were probably at least thirty kids running around our yard. As the sun was going down we handed out glow sticks, necklaces and bracelets. They were a hit. The kids made their choices and headed of into the darkness. Our yard became a colorful light show of oranges, blues, yellows and reds. It was better than any fireworks. The night wound down and friends headed home. Josh and I gathered our girls into the house for a much needed shower. Big Sis had some unexplained filth all across her face. Little Sis, who was barefoot the entire night, had little black feet. Soiled, I mean solid proof of a fun night. I washed my babies and put them to bed. Once they were asleep, my honey and I strolled back out to the still glowing fire and sat for another hour or so. It was a perfect night. The best kind of hostessing, everyone stays outside and enjoys the gorgeous fall night.

Thank you God for your blessings, for the beautiful weather, the change in seasons, for friends old and new, for a sweetheart to share a cozy fire with, for dirty, tired baby girls and for Your promises and plans for our future. You are so faithful and I love You.
