Random Fun Fact

I found out today I have a double heart shape in my fingerprint on my left middle finger, so I guess I should not proceed with my plans to rob any banks :-)  The last item on our list for the requirements for adoption paperwork was the fingerprinting and so, during Brad's lunch hour today, we completed this last step and turned in this final item on our long list of things to do.  I breathed a little sigh of relief that we have finally completed the list....I'm sure that is humorous to God who knows that was just a "drop in the bucket" compared to what may be to come, but at any rate, I feel a sense of satisfaction right now and I intend to bask in it.

I think I told you we have an accepted offer on our home...so the appraisal was completed and we are just waiting for the results to know if the sale will proceed as planned....and (lots of ands right now in our life) we have also put an offer on a home and should find out soon if our offer was acceptable to the owners of that home.  Lots of ands....unknowns....and praises!  God has really been blessing us and working out so many details.  All the while, He has been letting us know He is right here with us.

The house we made an offer on is not my dream house (yet), but it has a lot of space with a full unfinished walkout basement, and a huge bonus room over a three car garage and I might actually have some land for a garden....plus, if our offer is accepted as it is right now...it would enable Brad and I some extra cash to start making some fun changes to it (to Brad's chagrin)....I know I watch too many home improvement shows, but I am super excited about this possibility.  Don't ask Brad how many pictures of kitchens I have made him look at over the last three days...it is embarrassing how obsessive I can be in my pursuit of perfection.  At any rate, I think Dave Ramsey would be proud of us for "not biting off more than we can chew" financially.  After taking Financial Peace University, I am plagued...err, I mean, blessed with his voice in my head every time I get ready to make a financial decision.

So, no big news yet, but God is working behind the scenes...I know it because His fingerprints are becoming so identifiable...I wonder how many hearts can fit on his pinky finger?
