I am loving my daughters room. We have been piecing it together with tidbits that we have dug out of the garage, bought at thrift stores, or even *gasp* bought brand spanking new. The furniture was mine when I was younger, the bedding Ireland saved up and bought herself last year, and the curtains are (as we call it in this house) "store bought". :-) Enjoy.

table re-do
Hello, this is a random post, but I just wanted to share. Part of the reason I am sharing is because I absolutely L O V E when people post pictures of things they have re-done. I love the creativity and inspiration that it kindles in me. I sometimes lack natural creativity, but I can steal creativity from others REALLY WELL ;)
So, we needed a table of some sort to hold our TV. The TV is used just for watching occasional videos, so we didn't want it to be the focus of the room. For that reason we decided to stick it in the corner of the living room, but we had nothing to set it on. I ran to our local Salvation Army, and found this....
So I added a few coats of leftover white paint that was in my garage, bought a new knob, and viola, a TV stand.
little table: $10
paint: $0
knob: $3
total: $13 love it :)
South Korea.
I am so very excited to announce that my husband and I have officially put in our application to adopt a child (possibly special needs) from South Korea. We were really struggling with which form of adoption to do (open/closed domestic, foster to adopt, international adoption, embryo adoption), but our hearts really landed on international. We then went through a several week long process of trying to figure out an agency and country program. Because there is issues with travel caused by me and my intense phobia of flying, the Lord was able to really narrow it down for us. It turned out because of our age, income, and travel issues, one of the few countries we are eligible for is South Korea. We also could have gone through the "waiting Children" program for Hong Kong or Taiwan, but because my husband spent a year in South Korea in the military, we felt that was the best choice for us.
This is getting very exciting and very scary! Please be in prayer for our family if you feel the need. Pray for us to prepare our hearts and home for the child, and also that God would provide the money to complete this very expensive process. Thank you!
