we are VERY excited (and nervous...b/c it is never certain til the very end)

It just really fell into our laps only a couple of weeks ago! We still have to do our home study and background checks, and decorate a nursery in the midst of it all!

The birthmom has a c-section scheduled already, November 17, which is the day before our 5th wedding anniversary. BEST. GIFT. EVER.

It's official!! Kacy is registered for college and has her Pell Grant. We will have no out of pocket expense. What a relief that was.

Congratulations to Kacy! What a blessing for your family!

I was thrilled that she qualified. We could have done it but boy would it have hurt.

What gets me is our county health tried to say that the fire was no more unhealthy than a grass fire. What a crock.

they are nuts

Congrats. That is so awesome

That's cool. I have problems when I post from my phone too.


I wish I had started savings for the kids when they were little but there never seemed to be any extra money with the three of them so close in age. Thank goodness for the Pell Grant. She signed up for her classes last week and when we went online on Monday to see about paying the money on them they had already been paid for. She will get a mastercard with her money on it to buy her supplies. She is set for the rest of this year.

Does she know what she is majoring in yet or is she just taking basic classes right now while she figures it out?

She is taking her basic education classes this year. She is majoring in Cosmetology. She loves doing hair and makeup so this is something she really wants.


I meant to mention Nicole's avatar too. With Cheri's exciting news I kind of forgot.

I took Kody shopping for school clothes today. We went to one of her favorite stores. It is called Rue 21 it is basically geared to junior sizes. They also have clothes for young men. I told her she could spend $100.

She picked out 10 tops, 2 pairs of shoes, 7 pairs of socks, make up and two hair decorations. We walked out of there having spent $85 and change. She totally rocks the money.

Kody and Loren start back to school two weeks from today. They barely got two months break.

Without a doubt. And she has enough clothes that she can mix and match and not where the same outfit for two weeks. I told her how much money she had to spend and she kept track the whole time.
