Bajillionaires.

So, Nick and I are bajillionaires. Relatively.

We FINALLY got our taxes done today. That would be our 2009 taxes. (And our 2010 taxes.) I know we are way overdue on the '09 but perhaps you recall that there was a giant earthquake in Haiti in January 2010 and we couldn't get our mess together by April 15. And so we filed an extension. And then our world sort of fell apart another 6 months later too... But today... all of that came to an end and we paid H&R Block the $600 it took to get our taxes DONE.

For the first time in FOREVER we're getting a tax refund. QUITE a substantial tax refund.

How much, you ask?

So, remember that time we were all concerned because we felt like God was leading us to adopt again but we had no idea where we'd get the money?

Let's just say this-- we don't have to worry about that.

It is enough.

There was this thing that was swirling around as a huge concern. Feeling so conflicted because we know that adoption really doesn't "make sense" for us. But we also felt like this is where we were being lead. But we had no idea how to fund it. We didn't want to fund raise for it because yeah, our we LIVE because we ask people to send us money. It made my brain hurt to think about having to figure that part out. And we had no options to get a "side job" because there. is. no. time.

And so we were just stumped. But we were kind of charging ahead with it because we were pretty sure this was what was coming next, figuring that we could (for the meantime) include the child under our orphanage license until we had the money to adopt. And now (well, not now, but as soon as the refunds come in), it's done. We have what we need. (Or at least what we anticipate we will need-- who KNOWS what will come up?!?)

But here's the thing. I have confidence that even if unexpected expenses crop up, God will find a way to cover them. Because yeah, this morning, we had no idea he'd already made a way. Why would he disappoint now?

Guys, I don't know when or who or if it's a girl or a boy. It might be next month. It might be in 6 months. It might be a year. But dude, we're gonna have a new baby! :) This is pretty exciting.
