Did a test run to the library to verify timing & went to Ashley Furniture while we were up there to look at the beds I found on pinterest for the kids room. Ended up not liking the ones I had picked (not very sturdy) but Jerry picked a cute set of beds & dressers to put in the kids rooms. The salesman was awesome. If you ever go to Ashley Furniture in Pearland, ask for Chris Baughman and tell him Anna Turner sent you. He was awesome and helped us find everything we needed. Delivery is scheduled for July 4th so gotta get to work on the room getting the border down and getting the paint spot patched if needed before the beds are in the way for me to reach the border at the ceiling.

May 12, 2013
I randomly go to the TARE website (http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Application/TARE/Home.aspx/Default) and look at what kids are available to adopt from CPS. Today, I clicked on a link for the national adoption waiting child list and stumbled across photos & information for a sibling group. As soon as I saw them, I knew I wanted them to come home with us. I saved their profile and showed them to Jerry the next day (he was already in bed and had to get up early for work the next day).
<edited to add>
Jerry saw them and told me to find out how to bring "our kids" home. So began the process of getting information on what we had to do and what meetings, etc. had to be done. Closest meeting is at Pearland Library (about 45 min.-hour away) on June 19.

2013 Catch Up
It's been a while since I've posted on here and since we have restarted the process, decided I needed to do a quick recap to bring y'all forward from the last post in 2007.
V7 Photos (facebook.com/v7photos.com) is doing great. We've been in business since April 2007 (6 years this year....wohoo!!!!!).
I've been working in the Church nursery since 2006 (returned in 2007). I'm also the Children's Church Director. I've taken a mini "break" from both since the beginning of May to catch back up with my life and get things back on track.
Sometime in 2008/2009, the adoption plans got put on hold and Russia closed it's doors to adoption by US citizens at some point in time since then.
Mid 2009, I started doing the Church's website & helping my mom set up new software and get the Church's books straightened up.
Feb. 11, 2010, I started working part time as the Church Administrator & Treasurer at First United Methodist Church of Sweeny.
Aug. 1, 2012, I told Jerry my last time to even "try" to get pregnant was before I turned 35...well guess what....2012 marked 35 years...ugh, I'm getting old. Needless to say, he talked me into "trying" for one more year.
Feb. 14, 2013, I got the bestest Valentines day gift ever!!!! Instead of a dozen roses, Jerry bought me a dozen+ rose bushes, in a rose garden, in the front yard of a pretty house. Yes, we got a new house & moved on 2/23. Well, I say moved, February is the beginning of Senior season at the studio (super super busy) plus I sprained my ankle at the end of January and was on crutches. But now that Summer is here, I'm gonna get finished moving.
April 29, 2013, I quit my job as Church Admin.
May, 2013, I quit my job as Treasurer.
