Hi everyone! Well, we're still waiting to see if our 1st buyer is going to stick w/us. They had a contractor come out today to give them a bid and they're now aware that these are pretty minor fixes but apparently the guy is still balking. We have until Friday to strike a deal and if there's no deal by the close of business, we are done with buyer #1! And get this! We had a request for a showing today that we turned down because we're wiped out. Turns out they were going to make an offer as well! That God, what a kidder! So, our realtor will keep them posted just in case something happens w/our first 2 buyers! I LOVE it. When God opens the floodgates, He really opens the floodgates, doesn't He?!

So, in the meantime, we wait. Story of our lives right now. ;-) No new news on the adoption front. We still could hear any day but we're hoping we'll be settled in the new place before that happens.

I do have a new prayer request regarding Lily - well 2 actually. The first is please pray for peace for her as we begin to pack up and get ready to move. Yesterday, she had a really bad day at school in terms of acting out and being very whiny. I sat her down and began asking her why and come to find out that she was afraid that "mommy and daddy would leave her." It BROKE my heart that my precious girl was worried about us ditching her somewhere! We have been talking w/her about this move for almost 9 months now but she saw 4 file boxes yesterday when she woke up and was afraid we were leaving her. I reassured her that we are a forever family and that we are not leaving her. She's been doing better since then and we're keeping an eye on things but we'd greatly appreciate your prayers for her as we get ready to move. The second is that we can find a quality preschool program for her after we move. She's on a waiting list for the district but it's not likely that she'll get in this year and we desperately need to keep her progressing. She's close to being discharged from her last 2 therapies and we want to make sure that she keeps moving forward in her development.

Well...the saga continues at the Young house but we sure do appreciate all of your prayers and are thankful that God continues to be our protector. We love you all and we'll keep you posted!
