I'm a slack and boring blogger...

I want to post something new and exciting for you sweet (and few) loyal readers of mine but I'm coming up empty! So I'll just fill you in on what's been going on lately with the Mulls.

I'm finding it hard to believe that it's already almost May. Honestly in terms of this school year, I feel like we should be in October. Each year that passes by does so more quickly than the last. Even more reason for us to soak in the daily joys we're blessed with.

It is a crazy time of year at school- graduation is around the corner and the PLC should be graduating about 33 extremely deserving students. Our students overcome a great deal to graduate and that night that we celebrate is one of the best nights of my year. I decided this year to undertake planning a prom for our students, too. Our school is in it's third year so I figured it was time we started having a prom. You wouldn't believe the way friends of mine, and the community in general have come together to make this an awesome experience for our students. Dresses were donated, hair, make up and nail appointments are set- and for free! We're turning the school into a salon the day of prom. Restaurants have donated food- our venue has donated space- it's going to be a great night. Can't wait to spend it on the dance floor with them!

Ross is working on a little boat project. He's been taking some of our MYM boys fishing over the past year and this summer they will be able to do it from a boat and not just a dock. If you know Ross, you know that the boat would not come pre assembled. That's right- a junked trailer has been refinished, an empty hull was purchased, and the motor and other details are coming together one at a time. Instead of calling it a project I'm calling it a custom job. I am excited though because he bought the hull with lots of wide open space for his wife to lay out in the sun and read a book while he fishes.

Wedding season is about to begin. 4 weddings in 5 months starting in June- we're so excited to celebrate with our friends (and our family, in August!) over the next little while.

And just so you don't think I've abandoned my one track mind... we're still anxiously awaiting a phone call. Ou agency's current average wait time is 5 1/2 months. We have been waiting almost 5 months. So we're hoping we're close. Ready to see that sweet face and be one step closer to parenthood.

And lastly, because posts without pictures are less fun- here is my favorite picture Sarah took of us in Savannah a couple of months ago.

still waiting... and some other stuff!

It's so funny to me that as calm as I've been throughout this wait that the last few days I have been SO ready for that phone call! It's like my patience has flown out the window! I still am not losing my mind over it- I'm just ready. It doesn't help that every time I call my husband during the day he answers the phone with "Boy or girl?" I'm prepared to continue to wait of course, there's just been a shift in how I feel about it. And I think it's hilarious that Monday's now seem to be my favorite day of the week because it's the beginning of a whole week when the call could come! Still leaning on God's perfect plan and his impeccable timing...

In unrealated news (wait, did you guys know I could talk about something else?! It is possible! I can't become the person who never talks about anything besides their child when I still don't know who my child is, right?) So my generous and super talented friend Sarah came and took a few pictures of our fabulous Make Your Mark kids for our soon to be up and running website! She also took some for our sweet friends the Posts who are in the process of raising support to live in Ethiopia and work with the estimated 50,000 kids who live on the streets. The Mulls have some pretty cool friends, folks. You know this because if you are reading, you are likely one of them. Here is a taste of Sarah's handywork...
