Another week down.

Hey guys,

Well, it's Halloween and I just finished passing out candy to all the kiddos that live in the neighborhood...they are all so cute :)
Another week has passed and I can't believe it is November! Getting closer to the holidays and that makes me excited :) Drew is doing awesome in Afghanistan and is working non-stop....I guess he will be super busy until he comes home.
We are still waiting on our social worker to finish up writing our homestudy and I hope that she sends it to me this week so we can get the ball rolling again....frustrating as usual!

Happy Halloween!

Jess

Happy 3 Years!

Today is Drew and my anniversary and we have been happily married for 3 years...time really flies by and we have been beyond blessed throughout our marriage. All our thanks go to the Lord and I will miss my baby while he is away....if you read this, I love you and cannot wait for your return home!

HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY!

Love-

Your Wife

Visit from Dad

I got a nice visit from my dad this week. He was in Orlando for a dental convention and I got to go stay with him for a night this past weekend. We went to Epcot with some friends and watched Auburn win and Alabama lose (it was a good day to say the least!) Then he came to Tampa to visit me for a few days and we went to the Rays/Rangers playoff game, some good local reastaurants and Clearwater Beach. We had a great time and now I am just counting down the days to go to Arizona for the holidays :)

I'm still busy with my brides but am very thankful to be busy with the way the economy is right now. I guess people will always get married! ha ha

Drew seems to be in good spirits every time I talk to him...we are just heavily relying on the Lord and excited for the opportunity for him to go overseas and fight for our country! I'm busy, he is busy, the dogs are mischievious (lol) and we are doing well so far.

Still waiting for our homestudy to get written up and waiting on some approvals....wait wait wait! Other than that, life is very good and rewarding right now.

Lots of love,

Jess

Waiting for Approval!

Well everyone,
It looks like it will be a waiting game to get our homestudy back and then get our agency & immigration approval. Also just waiting for our clearances to get back....so hopefully (fingers crossed) we can be wait listed by the beginning of 2011!! I must say taht it is nice to not be rushing around and doing lots of paperwork. It will be such a blessing to get approval and then we will be doing lots of waiting until we get our referral :) I have to keep telling myself that it will all be worth it in the end.
I have talked to Drew and he is safely in Afghanistan! So far I have talked to him everyday, if not twice a day so it has been great so far...well not great, but you know what I mean.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Updates will continue to come....

Jess
