Now the good news

We're on vacation!!! (now don't go rob my house, my neighbor told me she'll shoot any and all intruders!) But we're in the fun land of OR or more specifically the OR beach. Sarah's been taking lots of pictures and I'm sure many of them will be posted next week. Keep an eye out for those.

In other good news, we're adopting (as if you didn't know already). There's a super good God story to go along with it, that hopefully I'll get a chance to post when I get back to town (I typed up the whole story in our adoption application, so I'll share that later). Needless to say it's a God thing and we're now in the process of waiting on a domestic birth Mom to choose us to parent her baby. That's a huge thing and we pray for her on a frequent basis. But our book is going out to 2 birth Moms here soon, so hopefully we'll get picked!!! And then, hopefully sometime soon we'll get to introduce you to the newest Bennett!

In the meantime, here's some pictures from our OR trip!

First the crappy news

Well, I'll add it here on a blog and that will make it official. At least for my dealing with it, it will make it official. My parents are getting a divorce. After 36 years of marriage, my Dad is calling it quits. The marriage wasn't a good one evidently, but they're both done.

Wow, what a crappy thing to happen. I'm over the denial, anger, and super sad stages. Now I think I'm officially in the acceptance stage. But anger still creeps in every now and then...
