April is an awesome month. It was the month my Mamaw Tinee was born, the month my Mother was born, I have several cousins and friends born this month, and lastly I was born on the 26th. I have always been one of those that felt birthdays were special. They are the day that God brought us into the world and he must have loved us to do so. I am so blessed to have been born in April and Reborn by Salvation in April as well. Blessed is all I can call it.
April is a bit crazy for us right now. We have something going on each weekend and some are jammed packed. Like I mentioned in our last post, we scheduled our homestudy visit for the 29th, so of course we have lots of other things scheduled to happen this month. We had a baby reveal today (ITS A GIRL - Congrats Matt and Heather B.) we have a wedding shower tomorrow and Tball practive. Next week we have the first of two fundraisers scheduled (see below) and next weekend its Thunder over Louisville. The next weekend is the 2nd of our April fundraisers (see below as well) and then that sunday we have our Homestudy visit AND my sisters wedding shower. Then the next week we have a trip to the Zoo with school, Clayton's School program, another wedding shower and My Sisters wedding! Just a little bit going on over the next month. LOL! Check with me next month to see how I'm doing.

April 27-28 - Adoption Yard Sale Fundraiser -http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/124552341002565/
We are hosting an adoption yard sale fundraiser to offset the cost of our adoption expenses. We are asking all of our friends and family to pass on the word of this event. We are also taking any donations of items to be sold at this event. We will be selling food and drinks as well, so come on out and get your breakfast or lunch.
NOTE: For those in my family who may want to get me something for my birthday, let me just say that ALL I wish for is donations to be made to our Adoption Family Fund. That is all I want this year, another child in our family. It may not happen this year, but it will happen.

Planning, Planning & More Planning
I'm back to our blog after a little over 2 weeks away. We had a wonderful revival with 3 souls saved. We still have many more we are looking for God to save. His plan is perfect and it's always right in time. That is Exactly how it will be with our adoption, his plan and his time.
We have officially scheduled our home study visit for April 29. I had hoped for earlier but it just didn't work out that way. Again, faith in God to believe that it is the right time is what we need to do.
We have almost hit our goal for our home study fees, just about $500 more to go. We have a number of fundraisers scheduled this month and are excited for each one.
Bunco/31 Fundraiser Scheduled!!! April 19 at 6 pm. It will be $15 to play and all proceeds will benefit the adoption. There will be door prizes and prizes for the most buncos, least buncos and last bunco. There will also be refreshments served. You will also have the opportunity to see items and place a 31 gift order where we will receive 15% of the purchases. This months 31 special is 50% off the purse of your choice when you spend $31. Great options for Mothers Day or Administrative professionals day. Look for an invite on Facebook for this event.
Adoption Yard Sale - April 27 & 28 on Lewis Lane in Owensboro. We are accepting donations of items in good condition. We would like to have all donations no later than Tuesday of that week to allow for pricing and transport to the sale location.
Thanks to everyone who has responded to our letters. We have raised $591 from those letters! We have wonderful family and friends, you all are wonderful!
