Moving Forward

Hey Everyone,

this is Chris.  Jess is off at Church already teaching Sunday School.  I got the morning off because we have a special music group that came to perform for our services, so I didn't have to go in and play this morning, woo hoo :)

Anyways, I saw that it had been a while since our last post, so I thought I would get on here real quick and let you know what was going on.  We have finally raised the money for the home study, the first big step in all of this.  Now, as soon as I complete my portion of the paperwork and we finish a couple of other appointments, we can really start moving forward with everything.  We're so excited.

On another note, please continue to pray for us during this process.  My unit that I'm assigned to has chosen to move me to a new position at the end of the week.  This is good because I will have a little less responsibility and more time to commit to the adoption process.  I did not want to leave my previous job, but that's how the Army works, we have to rotate people around into different key positions as the time comes up.  Please keep us in your prayers as the adoption process moves forward and pray that my chain of command is understanding, cooperative, and even assists us with the adoption process.  The Army is a family, and so far my Army family has been more than supportive of us in this endeavor.  I hope it continues.

OK, I have to go shower to make it to Church.  Thanks for all your support guys.  We'll keep you posted as we get further along in this.
