We Were Chosen!!!

It has been a whirlwind of a week!  We ended the auction on Tuesday with a bang.  The auction pulled in $3,000 and we also found out we were chosen for a 1 1/2 week old baby boy. 

First off, I would like to thank Jill for hosting the auction, Christy and Syd for helping Jill and I get it together and Christy for invoicing.  And a HUGE thanks to everyone who donated and who bought! 

Now, about the baby.  We received a call about putting our book in for him on Monday evening and within 24 hours we were chosen.  We were told we would sign on Thursday or the weekend.  Instead of invoicing and ordering shirts like I was supposed to on Wednesday, I was getting baby bottles, formula, washing clothes and getting the room completely ready.  So thanks again Christy for taking up my slack on Wednesday and Jill for helping keep up with who and paid and items that can be mailed off.  We found out late yesterday evening that we will be meeting the birth parents, signing and getting the baby on Sunday at 10am.  PLEASE keep us and them in your prayers.  Sunday is going to be a very emotional day for all of us and there is still that slight chance that they can back out.  Once we are home and I have a second, I will post a family picture. 

Thanks again for everyone who has been on this journey with us, whether it be sharing our items for sale, purchasing them or just praying for us.
