When Melissa and I were single, we used to celebrate Tuesdays with a rose from the local florists. Tuesdays seem like no better day to update you all on what’s going on:

- the garage sale went spectacularly well. We raised over $1400 and due to everyone’s generosity we have the application fee and a good amount of our homestudy costs.

- We are in queue for our homestudy to start. Our agency has gotten really popular and there’s a small line.

- Our (new) old agency for our adoption accepted our application and we are excited we’re back with some old friends.

- Our next bill is $1800 and will be due to our adoption agency within the next six months. Please pray that we are cautious with our spending as we seek to enter this journey with as little debt as possible. We’re currently working on finishing up our car loan and are excited about taking that monthly payment and applying it here. If you’re interested, we have shirts available (check out the ‘get a shirt’ link at the top of the page) and all funds go directly to our adoption costs and move us to this first bill.

- Once we clear our homestudy, we’ll be eligible to start applying for matching grants and no interest loans to take us a bit farther.

That’s all for now!
