PRIDE Class #3

We finished! We graduated!
(they lost my certificate, but they will mail it to me.)

Last day... we talked about sexual abuse, and what to do next.
Then we had panel of 4 people who represent
Birth mom, Foster mom, Foster youth and Adoption mom.
We heard wonderful stories from different perspectives.

Do we feel more ready and sure? Yes, compared to before the class.
Do we feel terrified and nervous? Yes, I dont' know about R, but I am...
But I am glad I took it, and especially glad I took it with R.
We both learned so much about family and each other...

Also we started to get the new house ready to move in.

Swiss Coffee
Particular Mint
Shadow White
Meadow Wood
Oyster
Stoney Beige
Antique Coin

Just listing the name is funny already...
I've been thinking about pain color for the inside...
It really challenge your 'sense' and you feel very insecure trying to navigate through the rooms.
but I am blessed with very patient, knowledgeable and godly general contractor. Praise the Lord!
