Fingerprints

It is amazing how God works things out.  Today was the day Caroline was scheduled for her biometric fingerprints required for our I171.  Scott and I were both scheduled for next week but we went with her in the hopes that they would go ahead and let us be fingerprinted as well.  I know it is just a few days difference really, but we want to move ahead as quickly as possible.  When we signed in, we asked if the tech could print us as well and she said no - very definitively.  She was really not a happy camper. "If we lived 3 hours away then maybe, but since we are local we would just have to come back next week," is what she said.  Then she said, "Take a seat, sir,"  to Scott.  Carlie and I had a good laugh at that one.  Bummer though on having to wait.  But by the time she had finished Carlie's prints, she had changed her mind and her entire attitude.  Carlie has that effect on people.  :)  So we all ended up getting ours done today!!!  It must seem silly but we are very excited to have that done. 

 Then, our t-shirts came in today and we have them ready to ship tomorrow to all who pre-ordered.  We ordered 100 extra shirts so if you are wanting one, just let us know.  :)   We will have a set number of sizes so let us know soon!

A special thanks goes out to our friend, Camilla, who has taken our jewelry to her office this week and had great success selling it there.  It is so touching to have friends like that who care so much.  In addition to helping us finance our adoption, she is helping raise awareness of the needs of orphans in the world, which is so very exciting to us.  

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who has donated stuff for us to sell at our garage sale.  Our carport and house are quickly filling up with awesome stuff.  I am looking forward to Saturday!  Just with things I have pre-advertised on facebook and craigslist, we have already raised half of our goal for the entire sale.  Very exciting.  If you live in the area, you should definitely come by and shop!!

It is amazing how God works things out.  But I guess it really should not be....
