HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO 2008. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US THIS NEXT YEAR. BRIAN WILL START SCHOOL TO FINISH HIS DEGREE IN TEACHING.. WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF HIM. I WILL ALSO BE STARTING BACK TO SCHOOL IN THE FALL AS WELL. WE HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THAT IF YOU DO MAKE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS THAT YOU CAN KEEP TO THEM.

OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION IS TO BE 90% DEBT FREE BY OCTOBER AND JUST TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH EACH OTHER AND ENJOY OUR TIME TOGETHER.. WE OFTEN GET BUSY WITH OTHER THINGS BUT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE TIME FOR ONE ANOTHER MORE OFTEN.

LOVE YA ALL
BRIAN AND TRICIA

ONE CALL

HELLO ALL,

WE RECEIVED A CALL ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 18,2007 IT WAS OUR CASE WORKER FROM THE BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME. SHE WAS CALLING TO SEE IF SHE COULD SHOW OUR PROFILE AND IT WAS VERY HARD BUT WE HAD TO TELL HER NO BECAUSE IT WAS THROUGH ANOTHER AGENCY WHOSE FEES WERE ABOUT 7-8,000.00 MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED FOR. WE HAVE MADE A PROMISE TO EACH OTHER AND TO GOD THAT WE ARE NOT GOING INTO DEBT TO HAVE A BABY IN OUR HOME. EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT WOULD BE WORTH IT IN THE END. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BABY AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANOTHER PAYMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE DUE... SHE ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYONE TO TAKE OVER HER POSITION YET BUT THEY ARE STILL LOOKING SHE IS SCHEDULED TO LEAVE VERY SOON.. PLEASE PRAY THAT THE RIGHT PERSON WOULD COME ALONG AND BE READY TO HELP FAMILIES OUT WITH ADOPTION...

THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I WILL UPDATE AFTER THE HOLIDAYS

LOVE AND PRAYERS

MERRY CHRISTMAS

AUGUST 3RD,2007

1 YEAR AGO

ONE YEAR AGO WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING A PRECIOUS BABY BOY THAT WE CALL AYDEN.. ON JULY 27,2007 IT WILL BE ONE YEAR AGO THAT WE GOT THE CALL FROM OUR ATTORNEY STATING THAT IT WAS OVER THAT THE BIRTH MOM HAD CHANGED HER MIND AND THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ADOPTING THE BABY BOY.. WE WERE DEVASTATED B/C IT WAS ALMOST ONE WEEK BEFORE WE WERE SCHEDULED TO INDUCE THE BIRTH MOM TO HAVE THE BABY.. WE STILL PRAY FOR THE BIRTH MOM AND THE BABY THAT WE CALL AYDEN... WE BELIEVE THAT GOD HAD US GO THROUGH ALL THIS SO THAT WE COULD BE PREPARED FOR WHEN HE HAS THE RIGHT BABY FOR US... WE KNOW THAT IT IS GODS HANDS AND NOT OURS... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO BOTH OF US...


LOVE AND PRAYERS
