Ok so you know how sister and I have been quoting this wise thing that Jimmie said…I told him the other day how I had shared what he said because I thought it was profound and has really helped us to see this situation with Michael in a different light and he said what did I say? And I told him and he said I said that? I couldn’t tell if he was being serious or not…what a dork! Lol…
Well so um not much else going on really. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to make anymore of the Mrs. Wages salsa because Walmart and Krogers seemed to be totally out. The salsa thing must be catching on! But Sunday at our little local grocery store I found a whole stash so we bought some there. They also had Mrs. Wage’s chili sauce mix and pizza sauce mix so I got a couple of packets of those too. I think we’ll have tomatoes coming on for another few weeks or so. I have canned about twice the amount of salsa that I did last year. So hopefully Jimmie won’t be as stingy with it and I’ll give more away this year in like Christmas gifts and stuff.
Oh, I think we’ve made a big decision (I say “I think” because we’re such wafflers – but this is a big decision and we want to keep all our options open, ya know?). We’re going to stop “trying” – as far as the fertility medicine anyway…I’m just so over all the side effects…mentally and physically….
So in September is when the foster/adoption classes start through the state. So we’re going to take the training, because if you want to adopt through the state it’s a requirement, but we’ve also decided to keep an open mind to foster parenting. I’m still not sure that’s for us but I talked to a guy in our church on Sunday, he and his wife just went through the class and almost instantly they have adopted a baby – like they got to go witness the birth and everything and prior to the baby’s arrival they became foster parents to two brothers and then a brother and a sister. I think the first set of brothers have gone back home but they still have the brother and sister. The guy also told me that there are only three foster homes in our county so there is a great need.
So we’re going to be praying and seeking guidance on this. Please pray with us! Thank you!
BB – wise….what can I say…I’m with Sarah…I feel verbally abused when they showing ED going off on someone…so hopefully they are successful in getting him out this week. I’ve taken up reading the live feeds because I can’t stand the suspense…lol…but I won’t be a spoiler so I’ll just say I’m hoping that they get ED OUTTTTT!!!! I think he is really making everyone sort of psycho…have ya’ll noticed how crazed everyone seems to be? Of course, like Jimmie said, we may be the crazy ones for watching it…
Anyways…I’m going to go…Happy Tuesday!

I don't blame you for stopping the infertility stuff. It's tough to go through! I completely sympathize. You never know...this might be the time you get pregnant. That's what happened with us. I think it's great you're open to the foster parent/adoption thing. You all will make great parents...temporary or not!
Man, I hope ED gets knocked out! Ugghhh! Love ya!
You'll learn some really neat things through the foster parent/adoption classes. Hubby and I are certified in that. We were on the list to get our homestudy done and then found out we were pregnant. It does go fast too. One in our class got 4 kids immediately after the homestudy was done. I pray that whatever God's will is, then that will happen!
Lots of Love!
So, I hadn't read your post about ttc/fertility stuff before I posted my journal earlier tonight, so I went back to edit...I think you all will be great parents, no matter how it happens. So much fun & so much love!! :) Praying for you guys...and you never know...God might just surprise you after you "stop"!! He is notorious for surprises...
Anyways, praying praying praying!! :)
