Created Chaos


So first of all a BIG thank you to Michelle for giving my blog a facelift. As I'm design challenged as seen in my house, the way I dress and decorate just about anything in my life, I'm very thankful for Michelle and her gift of color and design.

Ken and I are looking into another form of adoption and therefore need to update our homestudy. And of course it expires this month and we have a whole host of updating to do, such as fingerprinting, child abuse registry, well testing, etc. etc. etc. And yesterday as I'm making mad dashes to all the different locations trying to get things done, I almost started laughing in the midst of crying b/c in the midst of the chaos, I realized I'm doing this all to myself.

It is so easy for me to look at others lives and say "they are chosing this chaos" and yesterday as I'm re-evaluating if this is the best decision with a toddler to be running around like a woman on crack, I just started to laugh.

But as the Lord has been teaching me, I have a temptation to just give up when it gets hard and not push through. And while I will be thrilled to have another child, if nothing works than I will be just as thrilled with Jake and to be a family of 3!

I couldn't help but to put a picture of Cousin Eddy along with a hot pink scroll on your blog... I just couldn't help it. Knowing how much you love cousin eddy- and what he's really saying as he's standing outside in his bathrobe. And oh, how you adore hot pink... I thought you should have at least some pink on this blog... it won't kill you. Trust me! ms
