It has been three years since I last posted on our blog!  Those three years have been extremely busy for us!  As we began to see that the wait for Jackson would be long, we felt God telling us to go ahead and have another child biologically.  We had our third child, Deacon, in May of 2013.  Justin began a new job as Assistant Principal at Dickson Middle School in July of 2013.  This meant a move to a new city for us.  We moved into a rental house until our house in Milan sold.  In April of 2014 our house in Milan sold and we were able to begin looking for a new house in Dickson.  We bought a house in Dickson in June of 2014 and were able to move in during the short time Justin has off in the summer.

After many years of waiting for a referral, (and having another baby), we felt that God was leading us to an older child.  When our social worker came in July to do our home study update, we told her that we wanted to increase our age range.  On August 21, Justin and I got "the call"!!  We received a referral for a precious little three-year old boy!  We were in love with him immediately!  We cannot share much about him at this time due to confidentiality concerns, but we can tell you that he has the best smile in the world!
We are so very grateful for the support that we have received throughout this process.  Please pray for us through the remainder of this journey.  We have two trips to make before we get to bring him home to his forever family.  We are so excited to be in the final stages of this journey.  We have seen God's hand over and over again throughout this process and we know this is just the beginning of what He will do.  Thank you for your continued support.  We will hopefully have more updates soon!!
