A Benefit Show, Court News and Go TERPS!

Last Friday night, our good friend Sean put together a benefit show for us.  We were expecting a good time with friends and good music.  Our goal for the evening was around 600 hundred dollars . . .We were totally blown away by the generosity of everybody.  The show raised enough money to cover all of our air fare!  (If you want to know the whole amount ask one of us) It is funny, every time I doubt what we are doing God shows me His approval in a big way.  As Bob, one of our awesome Elders says to me with all certainty, "Amy, you are doing the right thing." (Bob rocks on so many levels.)  

On a different note.  We received word yesterday that we will not get a new court date(CD) in April.  It was really tough news as all of the families before us received new earlier court dates.  I was really banking on court moving to April. I was pretty upset about this turn of events.  Sometimes things seem so random.  The other part that really stings is that families that received a referral after us will get a CD before us.  I would like to add that I am really happy for these families since they are dear friends from our Yahoo Group.  

As the end of March draws near we will be receiving an update on on Natty-boy.  I can't wait to share with you all his progress. I miss him. 

William would like for me to add . . . "Go Terps."  They just won something or other. 
 Personally, I am a die hard Seahawks fan.  Go Seahawks!

The Date

This will be a really short up date.  It is getting ready to snow and there is NO FOOD in our house so I am off to brave the harsh reality of poor planning. . . 
We got news this week that our court date in ET is going to be May 20.  Lots of good things happen in May, we are praying that N-man becoming our son will be one of them.  If we do pass court we will be traveling to ET in June.  I am so excited to spend the summer with our new son, there will be some serious family bonding going on. 
Well I am off to  the store, hopefully there is food left.
