Hunting...Fostering and how I tie them together.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

It's Friday and tomorrow starts hunting season....blah! Or YAY!!!! A freezer full of meat would be lovely, don't get me wrong! But after days at home with just the kiddos there's nothing like having the nights alone with just the kiddos...again :) Nah it's truly not that bad. I'm happy for hunting season because it makes my husband happy. He loves sitting in the woods, it's his "think" time. All alone, sitting in a stand, high above the ground, freezing, for hours, is apparently an amazing thing. Well he shouldn't freeze just yet but for real how boring! At least take a book and make that sitting around time well worth it!!! Wouldn't most of us moms love that?! A quiet place, far away from reality, all alone to soak in a book?!! HEAVEN!!!!   

Anyways that's about all I wanna say about hunting season...or wait, GOOD LUCK HUNTERS!!!

Just a little update. Last night our social worker came out. She hasn't seen Steve in a while and apparently they need to keep up with both foster parents, so it was time for her to visit. Anyways. She asked us "the" question??? Would we wanna adopted Rylee??? And together Steve and I said YES! Court is the 14th and well see what the judge says with how "mom" is doing. But come January CYS will petition the court to take both "mom" and "dads" rights away.....just saying that....how sad. Heart breaking really. And yet to gain a precious little girl permanently into our family someone has to lose something. And yet they truly have no clue what they are losing. 

As I look back over the past year, year and a half, I think of how God has put so many things in place to make this happen, to bring Rylee in our lives. In my mind it's sorta like hunting. Sitting around and waiting for a huge blessing to come your way...to gain the trophy...to get what you've been waiting for! And yet we never thought this would be an option right now. And don't get me wrong, anything can happen from now till January and the judge can make any decision he wants, nothing is set in stone. But seriously it's been such a blessing alone just having this little girl in our lives for the past year, and it would be an even greater blessing to keep her as a part of our family. But God knows and now it's us waiting, patiently, hours, days....whatever it takes for God to fulfill HIS plan for our family. 

So wish us luck on our journey and in the waiting process as we anticipate what will come our way.
