People who fraud need JESUS!

Today I have spent most of it at banks and a police station, not at work. Last night I went online to pay some bills and noticed that our balance was way off. I looked at the history and Fri. it showed that we had been hit for a large amount in charges in California. We were at our bank, this morning when they opened and there was another couple there with the same problem and the same kind of charges, all again in California. We were told that we were the 4th hit in a week, same kind of charges, in California. Somehow some location locally that we are all using, probably Wal-Mart's debit machines are being hit. It's hard to say how...either someone hacked into them and sold the account numbers or it could be some employee selling account numbers. All kinds of scenarios. Someone made a card with our account number, put their name on it, and routed it to our checking account. We had to file a police report with the local PD and I'll pick up the report tomorrow and take it to the bank. The bank has to have a report in order for us to get our money back. All of our money was used this weekend and I'll have to sign papers on each of those transactions after they clear today, tomorrow as well. They were all on my debit card. Robert and I both cancelled our debit cards and opened an account with our savings bank. We're supposed to get all of our money back within a week. We are so thankful that we have money in our savings, even though our bank told us that we could still write check even though we are in the red. This is a very scary and very sad thing going on and it makes us so mad. We both had to miss a day of work because some jerk took advantage of us! I need to pray for the jerk, they need to be delievered.

I need sleep!

I had my first good night's sleep last night since moving in our new house and I actually feel like myself again. I started carpooling with another teacher that lives here and I'm having to get up earlier, about 20 minutes. 5:20 AM was stinkin' early enough! I think being in a new environment, being further away from my job, and just work stress has made it hard to sleep more than 4 hours every night. Anyone that knows me, knows I love sleep and my health depends on it. If I don't get enough sleep, my immune systems drops and I get sick...and I did! Wed. I got to work and about an hour later, I noticed my throat was starting to hurt. By that night, I was aching with no fever and felt so bad. I went to the Dr. Thurs. morning and I had a viral infection that is sinus related. I got a shot and some medicine and I was feeling great by yesterday afternoon. I hope that my sleep pattern will get back to normal soon. I LOVE my sleep.

Yes, I confess- I'm addicted to reading blogs and I bet soon I'll be one of them. I've been reading one daily about an awesome family of 3, the Lawrenson's. Nate is husband to Tricia who has had Cystic Fibrosis her whole life. Wednesday she had a double lung transplant. She's been at Duke Hospital being hospitalized after having a premature miracle baby and waiting on new lungs. Baby Gwyneth is doing and has done so well. Tricia's transplant surgery went well and their faith is a huge inspiration to all. I daily pray for this family and I'm not the only one. Just look at the comments and how many. Please take time and get to know this awesome family and more importantly, pray for them. They've got a hard few days ahead.

How time flies!

I can't believe it's been a month since I blogged! We've been very busy packing, unpacking, and trying to sell our other house. Still haven't sold our other house, but that' s okay- I think. We've been in BC for almost 2 weeks and we love it. It's slowly becoming home and I've enjoyed making it our home. I was VERY sad leaving our other house and it took me a couple of days to shake the feeling. It was my first home. I lived at home in the same house for 24 years, lived in an apartment for several years and have lived with Robert being married for 3 years. I am happy to be home!
Life has been good and I've missed nothing from the adoption journey that we were on. I so badly want a child, especially now that I have room for a 3rd person. All the nursery is packed up in boxes and they are in the room that we want to be the nursery. It's just waiting. I have no idea where or when the next chapter will begin in our lives. I have truly turned it over to the Lord. Yes, I vaguely look at options, but nothing catches my attention at the moment. Sunday was Daria's 2nd birthday, the beautiful little girl referral we turned down, in Feb. I thought about her all day and hoped she was having a special day. She'll always have such a special place in my heart. I felt at peace about her and still do. She wasn't meant to be my child. I don't understand, but again, it's not for me to understand. I'm totally in love with adoption and I know there is a reason the Lord gave me the burden when I was just a little girl.
I'm happy and so blessed!
