Saying goodbye to our website as we know it...

We created our website in 2006 to share our story and encourage others to find their little ones through adoption. In the next few weeks, we are updating the information and Alexis is going to basically, create a blog site makeover for me!

Today, at 19,826 hits, our website service expires and I am not paying to continue. With Freewebs, our website will remain but it will have not- so- pleasant advertisements at the top.

Freewebs is free if you don't mind the ads at the top. Soon after creating our website in 2006, I quickly paid for their yearly service of about $50 to have more space and bandwidth...and not to have those terrible ads at the top.

Well, take one last look at it as we know it. Our sweet 15 year old Alexis is going to create a beautiful blog site for us. It will have the same links and information as our website and actually will look just like our current website, just a little updated and a lot more attractive. There is sooo much to do to make that happen. If you know anything about websites, you know that copying 133 pages is overwhelming. I want to preserve the journaling and carry over most of it to the new blog site.

As I have been working on this overwhelming project, I'm so blessed to re-read about God's many blessings and miracles in our lives. Journaling is so important. It reminds us how God cares so much and His will is best for us. As we read through our journaling, we see God's hand so clearly in our past. Journaling is something that can be passed down for many generations, teaching our children what a wonderful, amazing God we serve.

Pray for me as I 'gather up' my journals and seek wisdom how to best preserve them. What a blessing it has been for me to read them again. I'm praising God for His grace, love and strength each day. I'm looking forward to my new website look...but will miss the little fluttering butterflies on our current website. Bye bye little flutter friends.
I will miss you.
