Something you don't know about me...

I love interior design! I added a few pics of my house that I will leave up for a couple of days. What is it that you've never told us about yourself?

Great Post Wanda! Thanks for sharing the pictures. You are talented!!! I love that fall tablescape, You have inspired me to create something beautiful like that. I love decorating for the seasons. We are going pumpkin picking in a few weeks (the kids LOVE it) yippee!!!! Now something about me ... Something some of you may know - some may not. I am a mommy via the miracle of adoption We always dreamed of having 3 children and dreamed of twins - after several failed infertility treatments - we turned to adoption (the path we were "meant" to take to parenthood) 9 months later I was holding my first daughter our two youngest daughters "our twins" are just 3 months apart!!! God knew what was in our HEARTS and blessed us with three daughters! LIFE IS GOOD - we are so blessed!!!!! I now have a small business in the adoption field and work to help other couples to realize the dreams of parenthood! Hugs, Britt

Thanks, I love making beautiful tablescapes. I have so many different sets of placemats, napkins, chargers, dishes...it seems silly since it's only me and my husband left at home but it's what I like to do. Your beautiful girls all look as if they are genetically related to you and your husband. You have such a beautiful family. I believe that when God wants to give you the desires of your heart, every obstacle falls away and it just happens. You are blessed! And I love the fact that you were able to turn what you learned into a small business to help others. You are an amazing woman!

Thanks ... Sending Big hugs

Oh, Britt, how interesting and inspiring! I know you are wonderful working with the couples seeking to adopt. This is a great way for us to get to know each other outside of WLS! Thanks for starting this, Wanda! CeCe

Cece, It is a blessing in my life .... there are somethings in life - that when you do them you KNOW this is exactly what I am supossed to be doing !!! hugs, Britt

Wanda, I love your house, it is so beautiful. Your house is decorated like I would love for mine to be and in all of my favorite colors. If I had any creative abilities, I would attempt it. Something I have never told you, hummmmmm don't know if I can think of anything. You already know that I am a parent through adoption. Like Britt, this was God's way of making us a parents and a family. I do however, secretely dream of having 6 children just don't know how I would ever financially do it. I might have though of one thing. I do live in my parents back yard (by choice). Bought my sister's house which she had built. Yes, I am a Mama's baby and can't imagine ever living anywhere else. We all get along and it works out great. HUGS Christy

The reason your living arrangements work out so well is because you are such a sweet person. You could make anything work! And I suspect that you are a fantastic mother as well. I hope your dream of six little ones comes true for you. Any news on the job hunt? I think of you a lot and what you must be facing right now. I know that what may seem like a tragedy is God's way of readjusting his path for us. I can't wait to hear what exciting things come your way!

Thank you, Wanda. I seem to be coming out of my depression about the whole job thing, it got pretty bad for a little while. I may possibily be getting a similiar job withing my previous organization. The initial talks have just started, no real news yet. I have made 30+ contacts oer the last few weeks, nothing real promising but atleast the seed has been planted. I am holding my breath that something works out soon. My company did give me a bit more severance than I was expecting so that helps some, looks as if we can keep up with my son's school for a little while atleast. It also looks as if unemplyment is a possibility also, even though it was a contract position. We are being blessed by God from different area's. Once you get to a certain salary, even the max unemployment doesn't even come close and jobs are that much harder to replace but 40% of my old net income is better than nothing. We'll be OK, just the uncertainty is hard. On another note, keep you finger's crossed and your prayers heard for my husband. He has interviewed and is a final candidate for a pretty good position. They are going to make the decision on Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully, that will be good news and will give me longer to try and replace my job. HUGS Christy

Christy, I'll be praying for both you and your husband to find the right positions! CeCe
