Pheeeewww

I know it has been awhile since there has been a post, but nothing exciting has been happening. Just paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork. Bleh.

Now, the first stage of our home study is COMPLETE! Thank the Lord! We paid the last fee yesterday, and officially submitted all of our documents. :) The next step is to meet/interview with our social worker, which will hopefully happen soon immediately. All of this waiting has gotten old, and I know that this is just the beginning. BUT it will be so completely worth it!

Until then we are preparing our little space for inspections from the Fire Marshal and the sanitation/health department, and getting it baby ready.

We have kind of hit a lull with fundraising. Nothing new and exciting yet (unfortunately), but I have a few ideas up my sleeve. Until then, we still have the coffee website (Just Love Coffee Roasters):  https://justlovecoffee.com/nickandeliserichard

A very appreciative thank you to everyone who has contributed. These three fundraisers have raised about $300 so far! Thank you for every prayer, encouraging word, and financial contribution. :)

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
