Underway

Well, the official planning and coordinating of the auction we are to have to raise money for this new addition to our home is underway. There is excitement in the air in not only our home, but also the community. I cannot begin to describe to you the feeling when I got the first response of someone willing to bake a good to sell at the auction or the first response of someone willing to attend our event. You have experienced it before. It is that feeling where you realize that "this is really happening." It would be similar to the first kick of your baby moving inside you. It would be that first time you get on the elevator to go to your office at your first official job. Perhaps when you receive the acceptance of your offer on your first home. Maybe those can match this feeling, but yet each are there own unique absorbtion of emotion.

Tonight was consumed with brainstorming and list making and delegating. My friend, Becky and I spent the evening listing themes, ideas, vendors, and more and though it was overwhelming at times, it was also a rush of adrenaline. My eyes were widened to further opportunities and my heart was encouraged by possibilities of involving the generosity and compassion of people even beyond our immediate community. How I long to already be there locking eyes for the first time with our new little one. The progression of this great event and the increasing support gives me such hope that this day is well on it's way.

Blessings to you all! If you wish to assist the Powells in their adventure to grow their family, you can also contribute through paypal which will directly deposit into our savings fund strictly for the adoption process.
