SOOOO Blessed!

I just feel so blessed to have the family I have and to have the support I have. I have been down lately but this weekend has really encouraged me, my Aunt and my Mom put together another "DREADED" rummage sale and as we were sitting in the damp, hot, humid air waiting for people to come and buy stuff I looked around and realized we were making memories, A lot of my family members were there talking and joking and really enjoying spending time together, I feel like our family has gotten together more since these babies have come into our lives than ever before! PRAISE GOD! That has been my slogan the last few months "Well, we are making MEMORIES" what ever your going through, good or bad realize that once its over its a memory, a story that you can share and hold on to! It has been raining the last few days in Wisconsin and so alot of streets are flooded and when there are signs that say, "Road Closed Due to HIGH WATER" you probably should listen. My Mom did not listen to that very sign, we left the rummage to get everyone lunch and we tried to take a short cut back in stead we were met with this sign. Now instead of doing what the sign said and turning around my Mom went around the sign and the roads were good for a while but then there in the road straight ahead was the lake of water, still determined (IN a LEXUS SUV)she just drove on until my cousin Jodi pointed out that the electric pole looked like it was kinda deep. She came to her senses and turned around not before I could get in a good scare... I yelled "Oh no water is seeping in my door!!!!" You should have seen their faces! While during this it wasn't so fun now I have a great story/memory of that day! Don't take anything for granted... even the not so great things!

Oh I got so wrapped up in my blessing I almost forgot to tell you... there is a family that I have been in contact with that is traveling to the same orphanage that Cole and Rorie are in and I got word that this mother sees Rorie everyday and says she is a happy lovely girl! To most that doesn't sound like a huge update but to me just knowing someone saw her and she is happy makes me feel so great I can't wait to see her myself!!!!
