Paper Chase

Well, we start the paper chase again today. All of our documents are expiring. Is having your fingerprints taken for the tenth time too many? I am not kidding! We could work for secret service at this point. We also need to have our 3rd TB test done. The deed to our house isn't enough, now we have to have our lender write a letter describing our house. Anyone under any circumstances can have a baby and live where ever and nobody asks any questions. Try and adopt and you are told if your house is good enough or big enough. Hopefully this is the last time and it is most likely we get to file our paperwork in Ukraine mid August.

Kevin and I won a vacation to Mazatlan, Mexico at a charity auction a couple of weeks ago. It will be fun to get away for a few days kid free. We will rest up because we know it will be the last couples vacation for awhile. We are going in July. The next trip will be Ukraine, hopefully. Chances are we will be going around Christmas. We plan to take Garrett and Morgan with us so we don't mind.

I found a really cool web-site for those of you who love to take pictures and keep journals. You can also use your blogs. It is called blurb.com. "Book Smart" You can make your own book. It is a free site, you download your stuff and then they publish it like a book! You get charged for publishing, but it is very reasonable. I am going to use my blog as my journal and make a memory book for the kids. Eventually I will download pictures. I don't feel comfortable doing that right now. After the kids are ours I will post them.

My verse doesn't have anything to do with my post today. Last Sunday was an awesome reminder of who God is.

Acts 17:24-31 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone something shaped by art and man's devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. he has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.
