 Welcome to…

A vlogging link up where we talk about something that we are thankful for or something that is making us smile! Find the full details by checking out my vlogging page.

 
UPDATE… two things really.
1. My dad is in the basement right now starting on framing the basement. Woo-hoo!
2. If you read my post from yesterday regarding our adoption and our waiting on the letter from immigration….WE GOT OUR APPROVAL LETTER! If I wouldn’t already have filmed my vlog…this news would have been TOP of the list on things that I am thankful for this week.

I am hoping to talk to our adoption counselor today about getting our Dossier sent to the Philippines ASAP.

Don’t forget to check out the silent auction going on to benefit the Turners. You can bid on so many fantastic items! House of Rose is auctioning off a $50 gift card to Amazon. To bid just click here. All proceeds will go the Memorial Fund for Preslee Turner.

Let’s hear it! What is making you smile this week?

Here is the schedule for the link up going forward!

I’m so jealous that you have the iPhone 5! I’m always the person in the family who breaks my phone and has to use everyone else’s upgrades so this time I have to wait an extra YEAR for mine, but my mom is due for an upgrade next month. I think the plan is that she’ll upgrade and give me her iPhone 4. I’ll be happy with that because I’ve never had any of the iPhones before.

Congrats on getting you approval letter! Hopefully things will start speeding up for you guys!

I’m jealous of your iPhone 5! Hopefully in the next month or so my mom will upgrade and donate her iPhone 4 to me. Right now I’m working with the gem which is supposedly a “smart phone”, but it doesn’t seem to be too smart.

Congrats on your approval letter! I hope everything starts moving more quickly for you guys now!

So jealous that you have an iPhone at all, let alone the iPhone 5. Hopefully I’ll be getting one in the next month or so.

Congrats on the approval letter. Hopefully things will start moving more quickly for you guys now!

So exciting about your approval letter. We are working on our basement now too. At least I think we still are. Things have kind of stopped at the moment. I can’t wait to get it done though because then Nathan and I will be moving down there.

Well first things first…CONGRATS on the approval letter!!! SOOOOO exciting. What a relief. And second, I seriously can’t even imagine you without your phone. You must have been going crazy!!! So happy you are getting a new one. Sorry for not linking up AGAIN this week!! I suck as a friend. But honestly, I am in the middle of some hardcore potty training that is finally working!! Hopefully next SASTR I can talk about how being fully potty trained is making me smile!

Yay for the iphone 5. I haven’t gotten it {yet}, and told Andrew I must hold out until it breaks.

SOOO excited for you guys and your approval letter! Cannot wait to hear more updates on your adoption process!
