Just like Vernon Dursley, I love Sundays, because on Sundays, nobody delivers anything, which means that there's no chance of getting any important documents in the mail. Sundays are a break my brain needs. I also love Saturdays, because Saturdays have yard sales!!!
Yesterday I went yard sale-ing with a friend, and got a bunch of great stuff, including this dresser that I got for $10 for our nursery, and which I have great plans for re-finishing, and this fabulous African blanket (which I think is actually from Kenya). yay!
Also fun, last Friday night the Young Life committee ladies hosted a spa night for our girl leaders, and it was SO much fun!!! Everyone was pampered, many a-mustache was waxed off (including mine, haven't you noticed?) and after it was all over we had the most fun just sitting around and talking! Courtney and I decided it was just like a sleep over, but minus the sleeping, which lets be honest is the worst part anyways :) Here are some pics from that night:
Mood lighting...
Action shot!
the eyebrow station!!
Me with my sweet friend
Other than that not much is new here. We're still waiting on some paperwork to come to us so we can officially go on the wait list. Doing a lot of thinking and praying and learning about waiting. Any strategies from the paperchase alumni out there?

I'm not far enough ahead of y'all for any advice! :) Honestly, the best advice I got was to use KBS Dossiers (are y'all using them?).
It will be weird to go on the waiting list and not be constantly keeping track of crazy documents. I sort of look forward to NOT thinking about adoption paperwork for awhile :)
We ARE using KBS, isn't it wonderful?? I just love sending those little notarized papers off to NY :) And I agree, I'm totally looking forward to officially waiting and having it out of our hands for a bit.
Wow, looks like a lot of fun! no extra advice on the waiting but that dresser looks like the perfect thing :)
Can't wait to see the dresser when it is complete! How cool. So, I have to admit, I am a bit jealous that you have so many friends after only living where you live for such a short time! Wow, I am impressed! The spa night looks like so much fun!
Thanks Samantha! I'm excited too, I'm trying to figure out what color I need to paint it. As for the friends, all I'm saying is... MOVE TO WILMINGTON!!! There's a party waiting for ya :)
