Fundraising

This has been a busy weekend. I have been planning a fundraisers with a GREAT girlfriend of mine. We are making a "Your Town--opoly" game and trying to sell it at our local town festival. We are so excited to see how it turns out and if it works! We sat down for 3 1/2 hours at our local Chick-fil-a and monitized the board spaces while our kids played in the play gym. It was stressful and exciting. We actually sold a spot on the board before we even priced them by a gentleman who approached us!!! We are hoping that this is a sign from GOD saying that we chose the right fundraiser!!!!

We have decided on the name Ivy for our little girl!!! I just love the name. So we will have Ethan and Ivy. The closer we get the more excited we are. We are still looking at the different countries that you can adopt from and can choose an agency from there. So many decisions to make. I can only trust GOD to lead us to the little girl that HE has picked out for us!! I know that everything will be revealed to us in HIS time.

I want to thank ALL my friends that are backing us and routing for us!! We love you all! If you want to purchase a game, let me know! You don't have to be local to enjoy playing, It might even be fun to learn about a new town!! If you would like to pre-order a game email me at tiffanydpt@yahoo.com and let me know! They are $25.00 each. (Can you tell we are excited about our fundraiser?! We are trying to sell 750 games. Hope we can!! Sounds like such a large #.)

Ethan keeps telling us all about the things he is going to do with his "baby sister". And he is detailed about it. It ranges from feeding her to holding her and to sharing his bed. It is so cute. He says that he will sleep on the top bunk and his baby sister can have the bottom bunk. I had to explain that she will be little and have to sleep in the crib in the nursery for awhile. (and yes, our nursery is already prepared with only a few minor arrangements and tweaks left to do.)

We will be attending an adoption seminar March 9th presented by Dillon Adoption Agency and we have been reviewing the packet from Holt. These are our top 2 picks.
I also found an awesome website. It is rainbowkids.com. For those others wanting to adopt internationally, you should check this site out!

Well getting late and I am exhausted from a long couple of days!
Love your sister in Christ
