Boy have things been crazy lately. I am working until late evening and generally haven't even been getting time for lunch....one good thing is that the wait time for our referral is passing quickly!
This has been a rather stressful week. I had a rather complicated and dangerous situation occurred with a case that I am working but thankfully God provided protection for me. There was a bomb threat on the Square linked to a high profile drug case, so that shot most of Thursday. There have been medical issues to deal with in my family but we are confident that God will provide and protect there too. Also, we are learning to juggle t-ball practice and getting ready for the games to begin. The list could go on but the jist of it is, life is fast paced, but we are so blessed!
Last night, I made a birthday cake for a friend's little boy. I know I have a blog set-up just for my cakes, but I just had to share this one with you here as well. Ashton was so cute when he woke-up this morning and saw the finished project. He ran to get his toy Monster Mutt truck and with bulging eyes he said, "You're good, Momma." He went on to state that this was "totally a boy's cake" and that "Julianna won't like this because she'll be scared." He was so cute!
Anyway, I finished this cake at 2:30 this morning and was up again at 6:30 a.m. to get ready to deliver it. I hope Taylor is excited about his cake as Ashton was!

Now, on to the adoption. Our clock is really ticking! We are hoping to receive a referral in about 2-3 more months. We are hoping for 2 months but it seems like the referrals have slowed down a little bit over the last couple of weeks, so we are trying to be realistic. Our agency has a new policy in place now that when a family reaches the top 10 list, we will be notified. So, be looking for a post coming up very soon that states that we are in the top 10! We've been on this adoption journey for over 2 1/2 years, and boy is it good to know that we are almost there! Please keep praying!
There's a conference call for the agency this Wednesday, so I'll be sure to share any news that you might find interesting!

Now, some of you may think this is totally tacky but due to the large number of people who have asked about Mom's headstone, I am posting this picture specifically for you. Daddy picked it out, and we are very happy with his decision. For those of you who don't personally know us, we have lived in Arizona, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi so a lot of our friends will never get to see Mom's headstone unless it is posted here. Sorry if this offends you, however we are very happy with this and understand and appreciate the compassion and love that family and friends have expressed.
