You Know It's Gonna Be Good IF...

Have you heard those "You Might Be a Redneck If" statements that were popular awhile ago?  Remember Jeff Foxworthy?

Well, since we "officially" began our adoption journey, we have felt like we are creating our own "list" of 'If Statements' and now have it as a running joke.  For you see, we have had many obstacles come in our way since we decided we were adopting (and no longer just thinking about it) and even more obstacles since we began telling family and friends.  Given the 'If Statements' listed below, we have decided that God has something great in store for our family and can't wait to experience all He has to share!

So here it is....

Once you have started your adoption journey, YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GOOD IF....

1.  Your house needs new heat and air.
2.  You must choose between cutting down a massive tree or losing your front yard.
3.  Your beloved dog tears his ACL and surgery is recommended.
4.  You discover termites a little too close to the house.
AND
5.  Your car AND truck break down in the same day.

Of course all of the above require money...and the only certainty on the adoption journey is it will be a lot of money so you can see how we have decided that IT'S GONNA BE GOOD.  Of course, we knew it was gonna be good in the beginning which is one of the reasons we started this journey.  But we can't help but smile at each obstacle...confirming what we already know. 

We now only look at each other and say...what's gonna happen next?  :)

Blessings!
