Need a Bow? Want a Bow? Bows for Taya !


Grab This!
If you have a blog would you be kind enough to get the word out about our sweet Taya? if you click on the
"grab this" and copy the code you can put her button on your sidebar. It helps spread the word about orphans many folks dont know about. Which is ALWAYS  a good thing!



~My friend Bianca who has a HUGE heart for children with Down syndrome and for Orphans, has made a blog called "Bows for Taya" she makes beautiful bows, loves to make custom bows and is donating ALL her proceeds to help us bring Taya home ! How kind is that? We are humbled :) please spread the word and check it out .
BOWS FOR TAYA :)

Hope everyone had an awesome 3 day weekend. We are still waiting for our homestudy draft, praying it comes in this week so we can file our application with USCIS :)

~Had our last tenant move out without notice (sound familiar?)  and left me with 3 gas bills, 3 water bills, many garbage bills and 3 months rent NOT paid! She was supporting her family and her elderly dad, her hubby couldn t find work, and was sick. So me being the WAY TO NICE landlord was letting her wait until her income tax check came in to catch up and pay me. WELL.... She stood on her front porch 2 weeks ago and PROMISED to pay me in FULL on the 26th. Guess what??

THEY MOVED OUT THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER TALKING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup. made me look like quite the fool :( 

We need EVERY PENNY to bring Taya home quickly. This really rocked my faith in people. I feel quite betrayed , to have treated them with respect and to be screwed over so bad...sucks :(

~Have a wonderful day !!!!!!
~HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP-PA !!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU :) :) :)

Good night about the tenants! I know how you feel as I am dealing with a dead-beat tenant myself. I'm praying for you guys!
