I'm starting this blog all because of a trip i took to the post office today. it was like no other trip I've made to the post office before. It went something like this...
First of all, I had all three kids in tow. As we walked into the building and stood in line, Tate was on the phone with Bill (who is out of town) giving him a play by play of the experience. "Now the lady is taking the letters from Mommy. She is putting a stamp on the blue one. Now, she is putting a stamp on Mommy's speeding ticket payment. She is taking the package. She has the package and she is typing something into the computer. The package is gone. Now, we are leaving the Post Office..."
What's up with that? Well, "the package" was our application to All God's Children International adoption agency for their program in Ethiopia. After 5 years of wondering and praying, we have taken our first step. We may be in for one wild ride, but I wouldn't miss it for the world!

I'm so excited for your family-and for that precious little one who will get to join you. What a great team to be part of.
Walking the journey with you...
Welcome to the blogging world - SO fun!! Since we miss you guys so much, it will be fun to keep up with you at least a little bit this way. Excited to see what God has in store for your family through the world of adoption. Any child would be SO blessed to become part of your family!!! But, what's up with the speeding ticket part?!?! ~Emiley
YEAH!!! Bill and Missy, we are very excited for you as you begin this process!!! We are thrilled to be praying for you and for the perfect one God wants to add to your precious family. :) Love, Scott & Rebecca
Yep, it will be a wild ride & we're so thankful that our wild ride hasn't scared you off!!! : )
It will be exciting to see how God works across miles & oceans to put another child into your family.
Our love...

Dearest Ones,
My heart was moved and my soul stirred as I read the blog and listened to your music. I felt God's nearness, His smile. They were for you. His smiling eyes are so life giving. Like water for the thirsty and oil that tenderizes everything. There are hundreds of times in the day when everything in the heavens declare the Glory of God. We just miss it. I didn't miss this one. I am sharing in your feast and drinking it in. Praying for you....and full of worship!!! xoxoxo
Oh Miss! What a sweet trip to the post office (minus the ticket issue, of course)! I think I'll remember it everytime I'm bored while standing in line at the post office. I'm so grateful for your blog so that I can share in the journey with you from Ohio!! I'll just make a cup of tea when I read and it will be like we're face to face :) NOT but close. I'm already loving the new Kollar God has for your fam. Love you, Shan
