So what if I am not Shakespeare!

OK, so I am not the best writer out there. I have terrible grammar and my words just don’t flow. I usually have David review my posts but can’t help but get just a tad frustrated when his “suggestions” are many. I just wanted to come out into blog land and say that I know I am not a writer! However, I am starting to enjoy blogging, to write about anything and everything and to just have an outlet through this whole process. I hope you all will still read and follow along on our journey even if I am not as crafty as some of you other bloggers! I am trying to get better about posting about our process so check back often. I have a hard time kinda putting it all out there but I feel better knowing that those reading our blog are going through the same process. Yesterday I was having a bit of a hard time, I just get silly things stuck in my head. We had received a call last Monday (while we were at U2!) about a possible situation that wasn't exactly what we had signed up for. We took the night to think about it and pray about it and in the morning both David and I agreed to not have our profile submitted to the BM. Yesterday I felt a bit guilty and selfish for holding back and I thought maybe we should just be grateful for any opportunity and go for it. Today however, I feel good about our decision, thankfully it wasn't like the BM had seen us and chosen us. I know they have enough to worry about and it would be difficult for them to have to keep selecting adoptive families. I am though happy for another couple out there that is now expecting a baby in January!

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.~ Cicero
