It has been a while since I have "blogged". I guess Chad and I have been pretty busy. We went to Charlotte for our anniversary and had a good time. Chad bought me a new wedding band, I got him a gun. Not a romantic gift, but I know it is something he will keep for a long time. I went up to see my mom in North Carolina. My mom, aunt Sharon and aunt linda and her friend were all staying in a condo near Shallotte NC. Luckily for my friend Kim, I brought her along for our two day quiltfest. My mom is making quilts for the residents in my grandmothers nursing home. I believe we have a total of 40. My small quilt group donated 22 quilt tops to my mom which I think is just great. My friend Kim thought she was just there to relax and cook (she loves to cook), well, we had her putting quilts together, cutting fabric and sent her home with some fabric to make her one of her own.
Now to the really good news!!!! The adoption plans are moving right along. We received a phone call from the case worker on Tuesday and said they had a child for us. Chad and I went in on Friday for the presentation by the DSS office. If things go right, it looks like Chad and I will have a son in a few weeks. His name is Sanders, I thought the name was a bit odd at first but it is really growing on me now. Sanders happens to be my mother in laws maiden name, again that is odd??? We will hopefully be going out with Sanders this Tuesday. If all goes well he will be going to Florida to meet our families in couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers that all goes well. I will post pictures of him as soon as I get them. Sanders just turned 12, he has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes.
I will report more adoption news soon!!

Congratulations on your new boy! That means I'm an aunty! yay...Don't be nervous...and don't forget what I said. It's all about the journey, not the destination. Look how far the two of you have come and all the "sights" you have seen on your way.
Pran and I are sending much love and prayers your way!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I am so happy for the two of you. Sanders is the luckiest kid in the world to get you guys for parents. It will be so fun to meet him when I come back in May. Are you going to have a kid shower? If so please let me know when. I am so pleased that you guys are starting your family. Please keep me updated with everything.
I am Melissa's Mother-in-law, and I love her to death!!! But my maiden name was Kidd, my Mothers maiden name was Sanders, from Henry County Indiana. I felt from the time I heard their new sons name was Sanders, I knew he was meant to be with Chad and Melissa. They are wonderfull parents and Trey Sanders has an unbelievable future ahead of him. I wish them and all of their the best in the years to come.
With All My Love,Nancy Couch, Chad's Mom
