WE ARE GETTING EXCITED!!

THIS WEEKEND IS OUR LAST WEEKEND FOR OUR ADOPTION CLASSES, WE HAVE PUT IN OVER 30 HOURS OF CLASSES AND HAVE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ON KIDS AND THEIR PERSONALITIES!! WE ARE VERY EXCITED FOR THIS STEP IN OUR LIVES, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE IN LIFE AND WE ARE SO GLAD FOR PROGRAMS LIKE THIS TO HELP FAMILIES GROW AND LEARN. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE HOUSE AGAIN, PAINTING, YES I SAID PAINTING!! THIS TIME IT IS KINDA FUN FOR ME, I AM GETTING MY CRAFT ROOM DONE, FINALLY AFTER 4 MONTHS, I NEED A OUTLET TO CREATE, SO I AM EXCITED!! I EVEN GOT THE BIG ROOM DOWNSTAIRS, SO I CAN REALLY BE CREATIVE. MARTY FINALLY FOUND US A SNOW BLOWER, AND OF COURSE SINCE HE BROUGHT IT HOME, IT HAS NOT SNOWED ENOUGH TO BLOW, WE ALL JUST LAUGH AT HIM, BECAUSE HE IS SO EXCITED TO GET THAT THING POWERED UP!! CONTESSA CALLS ALMOST DAILY, USUALLY TO ASK HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING, SHE MADE HER FIRST ROAST DINNER, SHE SAID IT TURNED OUT YUMMMY, SHE IS LOOKING FOR A GOOD ORANGE JULIUS RECIPE IF ANYONE HAS ONE, I CAN'T FIND MINE. THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL IN THEIR MARRIED LIFE, IT IS GOOD TO SEE THEM LEARNING THAT LIFE IS HARD, BUT GOOD ALSO. CHEROKEE IS SO BUSY ALL THE TIME, SHE GETS INVOLVED IN SO MUCH, SHE WORKS THREE NIGHT A WEEK AND PULLS A 4.0, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT, SHE NEVER IS STUDYING, JUST ALWAYS ON THE GO. SHE IS GETTING READY FOR A HUGE COMPETION FOR NATIONALS IN F.F.A, IF SHE WINS SHE COULD GET A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO A WHOLE LOT OF SCHOOLS. SHE WANTS TO BE A EMT, I ALWAYS TOLD HER SHE WOULD GO INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD, SHE JUST LAUGHED AT ME THOUGH. WE HOPE THAT SHE WILL KEEP DATING THIS YOUNG MAN SHE HAS FOUND, HE IS SUCH A SWEETIE!! CHEVY IS GETTING SO CLOSE TO HIS EAGLE SCOUT AWARD, WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM FOR STICKING IT OUT, HE IS ALSO ON THE HONOR ROLL, SO WE ARE EVEN MORE PROUD, IT HAS BEEN TOUGH GETTING HIM TO DO HOMEWORK, LET'S JUST SAY THAT HIM AND MOM HAVE A DATE AFTERNOON EVERYDAY AFTER SCHOOL!! HE IS A HUGE HELP TO ME WHEN MARTY IS GONE AND A GREAT PLAYMATE TO CASH. CASH IS JUST FULL OF IT, HE IS TALKING A LOT NOW AND INTO EVERYTHING, HE DRAGS THE CATS AROUND BY THEIR TAILS, EVEN THOUGH THEY BITE HIM ALOT. HE LOVES CHEVY AND ALWAYS ASKS, "WHERE'S CHEVY, NEED HUG." HE CRIES EVERY MORNING WHEN CHEVY GETS ON THE BUS, IT IS SO CUTE! HE IS ALSO VERY ATTATCHED TO HIS DADDY, WHEN MARTY LEAVES ON SUNDAY NIGHTS, CASH CRIES AT THE DOOR, IT IS CUTE, BUT IT MAKES ME SAD ALSO. WELL IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR ROTATING FOOD STORAGE THAT ARE NOT COSTLY ON THE BUDGET, LET ME KNOW, I AM TRYING TO BE FRUGAL ABOUT THIS. WELL HAVE A GREAT DAY!! LOVE, C
