Happy New Year!!!

Well, here it is, a new year already. It seems like 2008 went by so quickly.
We have finished our certification process for becoming foster parents and are just awaiting
our first child. Meanwhile, we have applied to adopt my 4 year old cousin as well...and just yesterday, we received a call asking if we might be interested in fostering a cousin's baby who is just under a year old. Good grief! Just when we thought we were done raising kids....
I think this was God's plan for me all along though. I feel MUCH more capable of being a great mom now than I did when I had my own kids! I know I was always a good mom, but I'm more confident in my abilities now:)
I'm excited for the opportunity to make a difference in some children's lives. Tosh and I have done very well with our daughters. We have a lot to give children. A great home, a lot of love, stability, a good life.

On another note, I'm going to Utah next month to take the Utah Instructor's course to teach the Utah CHL. I'll be able to make a lot more money once I get that. I feel like real estate is beginning to get a "little" bit better too, which is good. I have a couple of new clients to work with:) I have missed the business while the economy has been bad. I absolutely LOVE working in real estate! Meanwhile, I have my firearms classes to keep us afloat.

Well, it's time to head for bed.
G'night!
