What a great weekend this has been. Spending some time on the boat with my wonderful husband friday. Spending time friday night with our good friends sending off the now "legal" fireworks. Saturday spending time walking the pier and beach in Holland. Sunday morning worship with friends at a great place, BWC. Then on to spending time with family for dinner. Today is one more day of relaxing before the work week starts again.
This week our first "baby" finishes her segment 2 of drivers training with a road test scheduled for saturday morning. Hoping all goes well because 20 day from now she will be legal to go on her own. Where have the last 16 years gone? Still amazed that we are traveling down the journey to start over again. I can not wait to see who God has planned for us. It will be great to have a young one in our home again.
Have a great holiday. Make sure you spend time with those you love.

Garage Sale Event - June 21-23
As we settle into the "waiting" period we need to start making room for the new addition that will bless our home. As the girls got older I tried to "clean out" some of the unused items, but it never fails you always find or see things that slipped thru the cracks. We are having a garage sale event to help raise funds for our travel expenses and to also help make room for the blessed one that is being prepared for our home.
Here is a post from facebook that gives more details:
June 21 @ 9am - June 23 @ 5pm
We will be holding a garage sale event at our home in efforts of fundraising some of the travel cost for our adoption trip to Ethiopia. We are "officially" on the waiting list for a referral to come thru. We invite you to be part of this journey by donating items to the garage sale or coming to shop at the garage sale. Any donation big or small will be gladly accepted. Your prayers are much appreciated for us while we wait for God to mold us and the little one He plans to bring to our life.
We welcome any donations that you would be able to provide. You can email jewels2journey@gmail.com for details if you have items to donate.
Thank you for being part of our journey to the unknown. Together we will see what He has in store for us.

the start of the "waiting" period.....
We received an email this week that our dossier has been registered in Ethiopia so we are officially on the "waiting list". We are prepared for many months of "waiting", could be shorter or could be longer, there is only one person who knows when it will happen. We need to be patient and wait while He prepares our hearts and the precious little one for the day we can be together. What a day that will be!
As we move forward in the waiting game we got a wonderful candle order this week that we need to fill. This week / weekend we will have amazing scents flowing thru the house. On top of the candle scents there will be the baking and sugar smells. A wedding cake to be done for this weekend. Just taking it one day at a time.
It you have a request for your favorite candle or have a need for a baked good item let us know and we will gladly help you out. Check out the website for candles and cakes. You can see most of the cakes that have been made on facebook. Summer is finally starting to show, mid 70's today. Let the day begin.
