I haven't updated recently but a lot has been going on. We've been working on collecting documents, education, home study info so on and so forth. My in-laws have been coming over these past few weeks and started helping us with the yard, and man do we need it! I don't know what it is but I am terrible at yard work. Pete's parents are both great at it, and it shows.They cut down a tree, planted flowers and added some great bushes in the front yard.  They are great, we would never have done this ourselves, we really didn't even know where to begin.  We had to put like 15 garbage bags full of yard waste out for the trash collectors, I felt really bad for them.  I got some poison Ivy from my yard contribution, and I'm pretty sure I may never pull a weed again in my life.
These are the garbage bags lined up, full of poison ivy I'm sure!

 These are some of the flowers my MIL planted.  She has a green thumb.  I hope I don't kill these.

 These are the holly bushes and rose bushes they planted in the front yard.  One day we hope to have window boxes on these windows.

Since my last post, over a month ago, we went to the local Ethiopian restaurant with some of our friends, and it was delicious!  I even ate some raw meat, for the first and last time! I'll post photos of that soon.  If you just can't wait, my great and amazing friend Annie wrote a blog about it here.  She is much better about keeping up with her blog!

We also had our first official fundraiser, a yard sale.  It went great and we had the help of so many great people, so many donations, and beautiful weather.  I'll also share photos of that, but we have another yard sale tomorrow, I'm waiting to get some photos of that to combine them.  

Hopefully I'll post before another month passes again!
