Highs and Lows

As I'm sure most of you know by now, Dave and I lost our 3 year old Bulldog Angus a few weeks ago. We are truly heartbroken over his passing. He was our baby and we miss him everyday. With all of the sadness, comes big change. We finally sent in the bulk of our paperwork for the homestudy and we are officially underway. One of the many things Angus has taught us was that life is way too short and that we needed to get on this. Plus, it's a great distraction.

There was a little hiccup with attaining Dave's birth certificate, but it is in hand now and will be sent to the agency tomorrow. We so wanted Angus to meet our little one, I know that we will be telling many tales of Angus' antics! If anything, Angus taught us how to be great parents, with the constant worry and trips to the ER, he prepared us in so many ways...for that we are thankful.

We have also been planning a fundraiser and will be selling raffle tickets for different lodging opportunities, the biggest being a week stay at the Key West resort at Disney! So, all you Disney freaks, we have a limited amount of tickets for this one! We will also be raffling off a week's stay up at Rangley Lake in Maine, a weekend stay in Vegas, Baby...and a long weekend stay in NYC. So, we would love your support and if you have anything to raffle that you would like to donate, please let us know! We are also looking for help selling raffle tickets, so spread the word! Tickets will be available within the next few weeks!

Also exciting news, I have started painting the nursery! It's been far too long since my last artistic endeavor and I needed some motivation (plus it helps to get my mind off of things).

I will post pictures shortly, if I can find my cable to the camera...

Thank you for following and I'll keep you posted on the raffle front!
