What a day...

Let me tell about yesterday...
One of the best, stressful, emotional days ever! We are officially licensed and waiting eagerly for that wonderful phone call about a placement! What you don't know... is that we have had 2 possible placements already... and here is where the story begins...

My family came into town this weekend to visit and get fingerprinted for our foster stuff. They got that done monday morning, then headed to our house so we could hang out till they had to venture back out to colorado. We decided to make a trip to the mall to shop around. While we were in one store, I got a phone call from an unknown Amarillo number, heart racing thinking its gotta be Bair.. I answered.. it was the doctors office.. boo! Doug had mentioned as we were walking out of that store that we probably wont get licensed until the end of the week. He was probably right, I'll calm down.. :)
Then 20 minutes later, in another store, He got the call! He just casualy showed me who it was and walked off.... Um yeah, you cant do that to a girl! I paced the store anxiously, freaking out... 10 minutes later... Doug gave me the thumbs up. I lost it! I mean I LOST IT... in the middle of Francescas. Jumping up and down, crying, hugging my family, crying like a little girl in my dads arms. (he was crying too, dont let him fool you :) ) That was a huge blessing for both of us. While this is all going on Doug is still on the phone with Bair.... Heres comes the scary part...
They already had a possible placement for us, a 5 day old baby girl... SHUT UP! She wanted us to think about it and get back to her because it was a different kind of situation then what we intended for. So we did... for a couple hours.. Praying for supernatural wisdom. Praying that God would make it obvious to us on what to do. the only thought was "Lord if this is our baby, make it happen, then if its not then she needs to be placed somewhere else fast."
Pulling up to Bair to get our license was surreal.. Thoughts swarming thru our heads, trying to figure out if we wanted this sweet little girl. We were ready to take the plunge, but wanted more info.
So by the time we showed up at their office.. they had already placed her with a different home. Prayer answered..
Ok lets move on then.. so while we were in the office ANOTHER one was presented to us. A little boy, older than we expected. She said to think and pray about it. She felt like this one could be our baby. His situation is senstive so we dont know much.. Shes going to keep us updated. and We are praying for God's will in all of this. We dont know who will be placed with us or when.. but we know we will be blessed no matter what. 
We just ask that you pray for us as we embark on the next part of our journey! Pray for wisdom and clarity. Pray for emotional strength, especially for me. I selfishly ask that you pray that this would happen soon.. :)
