Can't believe it is the last day of school! So excited at what this summer will bring! Can't wait to hear the words your referral approval has arrived! We are still waiting on the RA (referral approval) from China the average wait is 2.5 months from the electronic acceptance of Khloe. So, we are getting close to that mark. Pray we receive it soon, the sooner we get it the sooner we travel to get her!

Yard Sale

Thanks to God for the great yardsale turn out, we raised  $864.24 for Khloe and the boys at this yardsale.

We raised $110 from our Arbonne Spa Basket raffle. A great success and Mrs. Kim Pressley got some awesome products from winning the basket!!!  Thanks Niki Yates for your awesome donation!!!

And if you missed my party in honor of Khloe, you missed some great products, fun, and food!! Thanks to all of those who took time out of their busy lives to help raise money for a worthy cause, my daughter!!

What is she doing??

All day long every day, I am thinking, "ok, what is Khloe doing now??". Is she sleeping, eating, napping, or playing? So, in case you didn't know, China is 12 hours ahead of us. Basically, she is doing the opposite of what we are doing at any given time. We are getting up in the morning, she is going to bed etc. It is odd to think that she is a half day ahead of us. If you are one of the many praying for Khloe, when you get up pray she has a good night's rest. When you go to bed, pray Khloe eats a good breakfast and has a happy day. As days become weeks and weeks become months, pray that as we get closer to the day that we bring that sweet girl home that she will adjust to her new life and family wonderfully. And when we come down to it, Khloe, we are only 12 hours apart but in your forever family's heart you are already right here!

The idea to provide skin care products unparalleled in quality and
effectiveness developed in Switzerland more than 31 years ago, when
one man, Petter Mørck, together with a group of leading bio-chemists,
fulfilled his vision and founded Arbonne. These Pure Swiss Skin Care
products, based on natural, botanical principles, became a reality and
are now shared throughout the world through Arbonne's network of
Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles,
Arbonne's product line has since grown to include both inner and outer
health and beauty products that are unparalleled in quality, safety,
value, benefits and results!

Arbonne premium skin care products are formulated in Switzerland at
the Arbonne Institute of Research and Development (AIRD) and are made
in the U.S.A.

Our proprietary skin care formulas are:

Botanically based
pH correct
Hypoallergenic
Dermatologist tested
Never tested on animals
Formulated without animal products or by-products
Formulated without mineral oil
Formulated without dyes or chemical fragrances

Pre-Approval (PA)!!!!!!!!!!!!

We received our Pre-Approval yesterday!!!!! The next step will be the RA (Referral Acceptance) that will be a big step! Pray that our dossier will be reviewed quickly and the RA will happen as soon as possible. The average wait for the RA is 2 months approximately but could be up to 4 months. So pray, pray, and pray some more!! We want to get this precious one HOME!!!! After the RA, which is like the official approval, we will then be waiting on the TA (travel approval). So this entire process from our electronic acceptance of Khloe to travel could last 6 months or so. But I feel like it will happen sooner, and I am praying it will happen sooner!! The sooner we get that baby home the better! So excited and ecstatic and anxious and overwhelmed!!!! Pray for Khloe!!!!!
