What a Month.....

Wow what a month!!!!

I am so glad to see the month of June go...  We started the month off in the hospital.  Adam had another bad episode with his kidney stones and had to have one surgically removed.  He recouped quickly as he always does and officiated his first wedding ceremony.  The ceremony was beautiful.  The girls enjoyed dancing the night away.  We left the next day to travel to Orange Beach.  I had to attend a seminar at the Perdido Beach Resort.  Adam and the girls enjoyed a vacation and some fun in the sun.  During this time we were still pondering and praying about taking on a huge responsibility.  It was at this time it was confirmed to us and we decided to move ahead with the next phase of our lives.  We will be moving out of our home and into another home to take care of children who have been taken away from their families until they can be permanently placed in the care of the state.  So with this decision came lots of things this month.  We have had meeting with the foundation that we will be working with, we had to have fingerprints and back ground checks done, we also have had to start a training class.  This will be week four of ten.  There is a light at the end of that tunnel!!!  Because we are moving into a home that has literally sat vacant for years, we are in the process of an Extreme Home Makeover!  We have been working in the home trying to clean it up and get it ready for the Johnson's.  Our small group at church has been outstanding in supporting this project.  They had been supporting for about a year but have really stepped it up since Adam and I have decided to do this.  Church this month... well let me see what I can say....  It never ceases to amaze me what goes on there!  We have had a wonderful small group.  Adam decided to stop doing the college bible study on Wednesday nights.  This was a decision that was hard to make but with him in school and everything that we have going on it was the best decision for our family.  The girls enjoyed Bible School this month.  They LOVED going every night and we loved watching them perform the Sunday night.  Taylor is getting to the age where she is not as thrilled about doing things like that but Tillery was super excited.  She loved performing and screaming through the church at us in the balcony.  IMAGINE THAT!!!  Tillery has also kept us on our toes this month.  She began the month with a gash on her eye.  We took her to the Emergency Care and they dermabonded it.  Since then she has had numerous bike accidents.  She is without training wheels this month so we knew this was going to happen.  She looks like she gets along well with the pavement.  She has a toe that is skinned up and a knee that every time we get it about well she falls again.  Taylor is usually pretty good when it comes to accidents, she is not as rough as Tillery.  She spent the night off this week and came home with a black eye ( pics to follow).  She fell into a fireplace!  WHAT!!! Thank God we have AFLAC accident insurance.  Adam has stayed busy this month.  He went with some friends to Panama City Beach for a fishing trip and then went again to finish their scuba certification.  So he is now official.. I can't wait to see him and Bryan Brown go...  We also celebrated a few birthdays this month.  WE had a few parties to attend and we had one at home for Adam.  The girls gave him their presents and we enjoyed this time at home together.  As for me this month.. nothing really special other than the fact that my vehicle shut down on me and had to have a new transmission.  The girls and Adam have kept us busy this month.  I am ready for June to go and welcome July.  Please July don't be as busy as June was!  Until Next Month....
