No news is good news.....I guess??

So, we actually had our homestudy!!! YIPPEE!! and to top it all off we passed!! Never thought I would see the day. It is such a relief to have that completed. That is one less thing we have to stress about. Having the homestudy done brings us one step closer to completing our family. But I do believe that the hardest part is still ahead, we have to find the right ones. It's so hard to go through all the pages of kids looking for homes. I always think to myself what if I'm passing up the ones, or what if I think they are right and it turns out wrong. We just have to believe that when the right kids are found we will know. It would be helpful if there was a big sign with arrows and flashing lights saying "pick us,pick us". Then I wouldn't have to even think about it. I do know that when it's time it will happen. Todd has been working away on the bathroom in the basement. It looks really good and it's only going to get better. He has completely painted two of the walls in this awesome blue color. The rest he is hoping to get painted tomorrow. The tile is supposed to be in Friday. We have our light fixtures all picked out and we just have to pick the vanity. Hoping it is completed in the next couple of weeks! That will be so nice! After that is all completed it's on to the bedroom! I'm sure Todd is super excited. :) hahaha! I will try and get some bathroom pics taken this weekend and get them posted.

Thank You So Much

Words just can not express how grateful we are to all those that came out to support us in our decision to adopt. We had a fabulous turn out and we couldn't have asked for a better night. Just a few shout outs to those special people that helped that night. Mike&Joan, Clint&Tiffany, Ryan&Chelsi, Tara and Jolynn. Without your help it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you also to all the family members and friends that provided food and items for the auction. I know you all took time out of your busy lives to help and we are forever thankful. Having this fundraiser brought us so much closer to attaining our goal. It was super stressful but so worth it. Now we just might be able to get some sleep! :) The next step is our once again scheduled Foster homestudy. We are supposed to have that this coming Friday and I pray it actually happens. Getting that done brings us super close to getting some kids. After the homestudy we just have to find the right ones that would make our home complete. We can't wait for that day to come. Once again a HUGE Thank You to everyone for your continued support. Knowing we have such great family and friends makes it all worth it. We love you all! The Clark Family
