Well, I guess I have to start somewhere!

I am new at this blogging thing, so it will probably take me a while to get my thoughts together! I am a 44 year old woman(I don't feel like 44.. but what is 44 suppposed to feel like? LOL!) I have been married for 11 1/2 years, have two slobbery dogs, one of which could give "Marley" a run for his money..(Naughty is her middle name), and I have been an elementary school art teacher for 21 years(it's a wonder I am still sane! LOL) My dh and I are childless, but we are licensed foster/adoptive parents(since fall of 2005) and have fostered five children. Our dream is to ultimately adopt, but so far things have not really worked out that way. (I will tell more of this in blogs to come) But we are still hopeful. God is in charge..
