BIG NEWS!

Ha....that got your attention, didn't it? Well, first I'm going to start off with the boring, up to date news. As of right now we still have not closed on the house and are hopefully (fingers crossed) going to do so on July 2nd. All of the underwriting companies are so far behind due to tons of re-fi's and new home purchases. We've come to a pretty quick realization that home buying in an extremely stressful thing, but I'm sure so worth it in the end. Now, on to the BIG NEWS.....nope, I'm not preggers. Had you going there for a minute, didn't I? Actually, I would have loved to announce that I am, but all in due time, my friends. So what is our big news, you ask? We have decided to adopt and I absolutely couldn't be happier. I've actually always wanted to adopt and even told Alan that somewhere along the line I wanted to start the process. Since starting fertility I've thought about it even more. We we're going to go a full year with fertility before even thinking about adoption, but I just feel that now is the time. We have some very special friends who have just started their adoption journey and after reading their experiences so far, I think it's given me the push I needed. I approached Alan about it last Saturday and surprisingly he was really open-minded about it. I thought he would want to wait until March (we started fertility in March of this year) but he thought it would be a good idea. We're not giving up yet on the fertility and having biological children (because I know my kidlets are up in heaven having just too much and aren't ready to come to earth quite yet) but we are going to start the paperwork process. Also, due to the costs of adoption, we most likely will be following our friends examples and holding fundraisers to help out. So, if you can thing of ANYTHING we can do for a fundraiser, please leave me a comment. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and love vibes.....please keep them coming because I have a feeling we're going to need them!
