The Last Till September

    We’ve written this blog every week for just about a year now. In that time we’ve gone from knowing nothing about how the adoption process works to being the self-proclaimed experts that we are now. Not real experts, mind you, just experts in our own minds.  Seeing that we’ve gone that far, we thought it was time to take a bit of a break. We’ll still update the blog when we have any progress to report (so hopefully a lot), plus we’ll update it once a month, usually on the first Monday, so keep checking our facebook page and we’ll make sure everyone is aware of any new posts.

    But before we take a little break, there are a couple more things we wanted to remind everyone about. First of all, we wanted to remind everyone about the Miriam Project 5k run/walk in Anderson on Sept. 14. Registration remains open until September 5, so if you or anyone you know would be interested, go to miriamproject.org and fill out the registration form. The Miriam Project is a great agency full of people who’ve been wonderful to us from the very start and, if you chose to take part in this event, they would greatly appreciate the support.

     Secondly, we’ll be placing another t-shirt order this weekend. They’re the same shirts that we’ve posted on here before, so if you’ve never seen them, the pictures are here on one of our first few blog posts. The shirts are $20, so if you would like one, please let us know as soon as possible and we’ll get your order in. Whether you’re local or we need to ship a shirt to you, we’ll make sure you get it.

     Finally, we’ll be having another fundraiser in a few months that we wanted to make sure we reminded everyone about. We'll have more details as we get closer to the date, but the plan so far is to have a dinner and silent auction. If anyone wants to help out in any way, or if you have auction items that you’d like to donate, please let us know. We’re hoping to make this a big event that will help us cap off our fundraising efforts and we hope to see everyone there.

     Those are all the updates we have for now, but hopefully we’ll have a lot to tell you very soon. We’ll try to save the blog for any real news, but if you want to keep up with what’s going on day to day, make sure you follow our facebook page. Ashley tends to keep that updated pretty frequently, so you’ll know what’s happening between blog posts.  

    Thanks again to all of you who read this. You’ve blessed us more than you know in the last year. Even the waiting has been made easier because we got to share it with friends.
