Happy New Year!

Happy new year! 

We have really been enjoying our first 7 days of the new year. Believe it or not I have had a solid 3 weeks off work and I'm actually pretty excited to be heading back on Monday - relaxed and refreshed...Well at least until about 8:15!  We, as most, have taken the time to set some new goals for the year and we're excited to start working on some of those soon. 

As an update to so many things- we finally got all of our sustainability reports back and have officially done everything other than training to start the foster care process. We are so excited to welcome these precious little ones into our home. We're hoping too that doors may be opened for adoption with this as well. I'll have to keep everyone updated on our training- which we plan to start within the month. 

Also keep us in your prayers as we head back to Mobile later this month for another minor procedure. The fertility doc is going to remove the polyp they saw in our last visit. He wants to ensure that everything is free and clear before we start any ivf procedures. Speaking of ivf and prayers, please continue to pray for God to open doors financially for this. We know that if it's His will He will provide and we're being patient ( or trying at least) for things to work themselves out. While reading over all the literature we were given, we also didn't realize the monumental time commitment ivf will take. Everything we've read says we'll be testing once or twice a week and that means continued trips to Montgomery or Mobile.  Its not as difficult for me, but extremely difficult for the hubs to take off and many of the appointments will require both of us. I was also surprised with  the number of self injections I will have to take. Now, for anyone that knows me you know I don't do shots well AT ALL- and to think that I or the hubs will have to give me a shot twice a day for nearly 1 or 2 months....to say my nerves are shot( no pun intended) is an understatement. The injections alone are really making me reconsider. 

So as we walk into the new year with  joy in our hearts- we pray that the peace of the Father, the love of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit  be with each of you in 2012 all along the Anderson Adventure.
