Thankful for donations received!!

I received a list of all the people who donated to our adoption fund and I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all who donated, I am not going to list names because some people may not want it public.  We are very much appreciative of what you have done for us.  Of all the people on the list we only knew one of them, the rest were complete strangers.  God works in wonderful ways, I could not believe that complete strangers donated in the way they did and yet local friends, family, parish members that we attend church with and such, did not donate not one dime.  I will acknowledge my friend Carolyn and Laura who donated outside of the agency fund, as well as a fellow ACTS Team member (not sure if she wants her name mentioned) who donated to me personally, THANK YOU!! The donations we received can pay for items like medical exam and Visa which are required to get our baby out of the country and home with us.  God bless you all!!!!

Finally, travel dates!!!

Last Friday came and went and I was bummed that we did not get a travel date that week, then resigned myself to hope for this week.  Imagine my surprise when we were shopping at Sams on Saturday and I got the phone call telling us our DAP appointment date is Thursday June 26th!!!  So excited and then I cried, it was a repeat from 6 years ago, we were shopping at Costco and I got a call from our surrogate with a positive pregnancy, I was so excited and crying in the store, people thought I was nuts!
Have a lot to do to be ready, already making a pile of things that have to be packed and lists upon lists.  We have vacation bible school this week, so it is making the week go by fast and it is taking up a lot of my time to prepare.  We also have a birthday party this Saturday for Carissa, so more busy things.  But next week I will have all day everyday to pack, make piles, fulfill lists and clean my house.  Still need to find a portable DVD player to take and find a ride to the airport.  Moving right along.
The best part is in about three weeks I will be holding my sweet angel girl and loving on her.

Earned more money!!!!!!

We finally sold one of the three horses we have for sale.  Yes!  I was able to add a good amount of money towards our fund.  Looks like we are half way there!!  Think about buying some Norwex from my FB party online and those proceeds will help as well.  God bless all of you and keep praying for little Arielle.

Another donation and thank you!!!

Checked our Reece's Rainbow family page today and another person donated $100, whoever you are, God will bless you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  When we return from our trip I am going to get a list from RR of the people who donated, so I can send very special thank you's out to all!!!!  Today my online fundraiser starts, if you are interested in purchasing you can do so here:  https://www.facebook.com/events/459834457484698/ when asked your hostess name put Lola Walter and the proceeds will credit to us.  Thank you again for all the help we are getting, we love you, Arielle loves you and so does God.
Still waiting for our trip dates, still praying we leave around the 15th or 16th!!!!!  So much to do in such a short amount of time to prepare.  Trying to figure out how to pack for four people in two suitcases, considering three of those people will be staying five weeks.
