A night of prayer

Last night, a bunch of friends from church got together to pray for us. What an incredible time of fellowship! God has truly blessed us with many people who love and support us, and we cherish their involvement in our adoption. It meant a lot to us to have friends gather around and pray for us and our children, and to know that they will continue to pray while we are gone.

So far we've done the important stuff: had people pray for us and borrowed DVDs. ;) I'm still working on moving the furniture. :) :) Yesterday Mark also made underbed drawers for the kids' beds. He's quite the handyman, and we both like the drawers so much that he's probably going to make some more for our bed. I've already starting filling two of the drawers. :) They're 2'x3'x8", so lots of room for toys, books, clothes, etc. We live in a little bungalow so storage is at a premium--we have to make the best use of every available space.

Tonight Mark packed up the kids' clothes which made him feel productive, and also helped clear out the living room. My plan is to lay out what we're packing on the twin beds, but in order to do that we need to unbunk the beds, and that won't happen until I finish painting, which won't happen until tomorrow night at the earliest (maybe not until Friday night). Nothing like leaving things until the last minute. ;) As our friend Micah says, I'm not a procrastinator, I just work better under a tight deadline. :) :)
