First off, in the wake of the celebrity deaths today, another story was overlooked. 's niece has been missing for over a week. This afternoon my Mom called from Chicago (she lives there) to tell me that NW Indiana police found her remains. She was 2. I know theres nothing that can be done for her, but I thought I would mention her.
That being said, I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Michael Jackson, especially those of us who grew up with him influencing our childhood. But I choose not to debate or focus on negativity right now. The thing I choose to remember (besides the amazingness of Thriller) is this: [link]
I know its cheesy, and hard to focus with those beauties singing back-up, but a good message is a good message, regardless of how old it is.

Moving on.

The first wave of the auction ends tomorrow! As it looks right now, we stand to raise around $400!!! Thank you so much to those of you who bid, donated, supported us and spread the word. Hopefully the next wave will raise even more money.

Ian and I are in the midst of the infamous adoption paper chase. The other night Ian was filling out some of our finance forms and was like "Dude, I dont even know this about us!" which is funny seeing as my husband is that uber-organized guy. We are doing our LiveScans soon, and then another visit with our Social Worker.
I also found a social networking site for adoption! Its called AdoptionVoices and isnt nearly as corny as it sounds. Its a nice place to actually see other interracial families and their stories.
Hope you can stop by the auction this weekend and bid on some fantastic artwork!!
