One month into it...and some fun Halloween pics too!

Well, it has been one month since we "officially" started our adoption journey and we have seen God's hand in SO MANY things this month. Over and over, God is showing us comfirmation of this adoption through big and small ways. It is so cool to follow God's lead and watch amazing things happen for HIS glory! Here is just a few of the things that God has blessed us with this month...

1) We were able to save almost double the amount we had planned to save this month due to both of us working a little more and spending A LOT less!
2) My dad is "on board" with us adopting from Ethiopia!!!
3) Our sweet sweet friends, Blake and Emily, made the first "official" donation to our adoption fund and it was MUCH MUCH more than we would ever have expected. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR GRACIOUS DONATION!
4) I have met one sweet friend that is adopting from Ethiopia, I am going to meet another mommy with two children tomorrow that are adopting from Africa, and I have emailed, Facebooked, or talked to at least TWO other ladies that are ADOPTING from ETHIOPIA and live in SOUTH CAROLINA. Hopefully, we can get all of these precious families together in one house to celebrate one day!!!
5) LOTS of people are donating items to our yard sale and making baked goods for our bake sale in a couple of weeks!


Here are just a few pics from Trunk or Treat at our church last night too.
