I Get a New Aunt!

Wow! It's been such a long time since I've posted, I don't even know where to begin! But now I've committed myself to doing this, and i will do it! Well, if you want to start with the most exciting news first, my grandparents are going to adopt a 13, going on 14 year old girl, soon to be named Madisyn, from Hiati! I am so psyched! To me, it will be like having a best friend everywhere I go, because we're with my grandparents all the time. If you click on the link for my grandparent's blog, you will see her pic. on their latest post. You can also see her picture on my picture board on the top of this page. As exciting as this is, we really need your prayers. Madisyn's birth mother died about a year and a half ago, and her birth father hasn't been around since she was a baby, so she has had to care for her 6 year old sister for quite a while. And now that Madisyn is leaving Haiti, she is concerned about her little sister, Loundie. So please be praying that we find a good home for Loundie, and pray that she finds the parents that God has intended for her. Also, we're kind of hoping that we can find her a family close to us, that way she and Madisyn can keep in contact, so if you want to put that in your prayer as well, feel free!

Well, high school is going pretty well for me. I've already finished my fist semester of freshman year, and I'm well into my second. I like all my teachers so far and I love being able to be with different people every day. Today and tomorrow are snow days for us, because we're currently being hit with a huge snow storm. As you can imagine, I was devastated... just kidding! It was a huge relief to be able to go back to bed, when you would have had to get going at 5:30 in the morning! The only downer to this fairytale is that I could really get used to this, but I know I can't!

This past weekend, we went to what we call 'Haitian weekend'. Twice a year, people who have adopted from Haiti, are thinking of adopting from Haiti, or people who have any ties to Haiti in general get together for a weekend of fun and fellowship. It was really cool being able to see all of our friends from Haiti, because most of them live several hours away, so we don't get to see them too often. I am already counting down the days until our Haitian Camp in August!

Well, I'd better stop blogging, because my mom will be needing the computer pretty soon, and I've been totally changing the way my blog looks, and I've been working on it since dinner ended, which was at 7:45! So thanks for all your prayers, and be ready to read again soon!
