I didn't forget...

about the giveaway.
I just had to figure out the very scientific way that we were going to pick the winner. I mean...I don't know how to do the "random number generator".
So I had brandon pick a number between 1-12. He chose 7. He almost chose 6. Sorry Rebecca. So I counted down to the 7th comment, and VOILA. A winner!

Lucky me, I chose a winner who just had beautiful photos taken of her and her hubby. This girl values a good photograph, so she spent her birthday gift...on some pictures.  Good call.  Sweet Kate Whitmore took them.  And here she is. The winner.  :)

Go visit Denise and ask her if she will give you her prize.  :)

Shutterfly just told me today that my cards are already in the mail. They are so efficient. I love it.

I am tired out today from my sweetheart second graders. Ran after school. 3 miles. Working on editing some pictures.  Grading papers. Adoption paperwork.  Making my lunch for tomorrow. Laundry.   Just the normal evening.  Sometimes I feel so DARN THANKFUL for nights like this.

I crave normalcy. So here it is. I'm smiling. :)

Adoption Giveaway

Can I tell you REALLY QUICK about our college friends Lesli and Ryan? When I met them they were freshman in college and I was a junior. We were all involved in Campus Crusade for Christ.  Ryan was incredibly inappropriate. When I say that, I mean he has the best kind of shock humor. The same kind my husband has. At the time, I remember thinking......"I should be friends with her, because it seems her boyfriend embarrases her all the time just like mine, but she seems to deal with it better than I do!!".  We never got a ton of time to connect as couples, but they are awesome. I've told you about them before, they are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia.

PLEASE....Go visit my them for their adoption giveaway....

lots of cute stuff to win...for a tiny donation towards their adoption.  Five dollars would be well worth it...and she says not many people have responded, so that means your chances are good :)
