Damon's 30th

This post is VERY delayed and I am officially a bad wife. Damon turned the big 30 on July 22nd and I neglected to wish him a big happy bday on the blog. Don't worry, I did remember to tell him on the actual day. A few weeks ago he had a party along with our friend Nancy, who also turned 30 recently. We had a big bbq over at Nancy’s and I know Damon appreciated that several of our good friends made it over to celebrate.

Happy belated Birthday Damon! Welcome to the 30s!

Here are a few of my favorite pics from the festivities.

Suzie and Kara

Suzie was attacked by her cat earlier in the day and still made it to the party!

Nancy (the Birthday girl) and Brenda

These lovely ladies were 2 of our 4 references required by the home study. Brenda and Damon have been working for the same company for the past 8 years! We met Nancy through Kara and Marty and she has been a good friend ever since. She is also an elementary school teacher in our community. We are so grateful to them for taking the time to help us with our adoption!

Can you tell these two are brothers?! Now that Asa is keeping his hair short he and Damon look more and more alike in my opinion. Asa is on the left and Damon on the right (in case you couldn't tell). Asa, Sarah (our sister-in-law) and Malayna (our niece) drove an hour to attend the party!

I think good times were had by all and I know Damon was very appreciative!

I made a few minor changes to the blog. I wanted more of a design as the header so this will do for now. I hope you like it.

I REALLY hope the next post will be that we are on the waitlist! We are just waiting for the CIS letter to be authenticated so we are super close. It is one of those things that I know is out of my control but the excitement is hard to contain sometimes.
