Hoping for November 18

Well the last word on the finalization of "M" is that it will be on November 18. The time frame has changed a few times, once thinking this date but then given hope that it would happen before school started, then that changed to Sept/Oct. But now this is the date given. Or at least what they are striving for. I would love it if you would pray with us that it happens on that date and not pushed back. It may not seem like a big deal since we have her, but it does mean a lot to a little girl who knows that her last name is still different and legally still a foster child.

So please pray that it will happen on November 18th.

The calendar says that fall begins tomorrow. It is in the upper 90's right now, I'm thinking it might still be a while. But it will come. Of course raking usually doesn't happen until close to December around here, but we will still put up all the orange decorations to make it look like fall. Somehow even if the leaves are still green on the trees and you are wearing flip flops and a tank top, as long as you have a scarecrow to look at, a crispy apple in your mouth and the smell of spiced pumpkin in the air, you will be in the mood.

What do you most love about fall?
