Help Yourself While Helping Us

We have a great deal to share with everyone today. We have been set up with Coupaide, which helps with fundraising for families going through adoption. They have given us our own direct website linked to a great deal. If you are not familiar with restaurant.com, it is a website where you can browse through over 18,000 restaurants and purchase coupons to any participating restaurant across the united states. How it works is you go to our website http://coupaide.com/johnson-adoption-fund   or click the link to the side of the page. When there you will receive a $50 gift certificate to restaurant.com for only $20 and can use the gift certificate for as many of the participating restaurants as you would like. For every gift certificate sold we get $10 for our adoption fund. So its a win/win for everyone! Be sure to pass along the link above to anyone you think might be interested in a deal like this.

We have also shared our story through Go Fund Me; a fundraising website to get our story out to a broad range of supporters, and also keep track of how far we have to go in funding. Please feel free to visit or share our link through social media.

Enough about fundraising. We met with our physician on Thursday for our physicals for Gladney. We had to do the full physical, but we at least got to do it together and at the same time. We had normal reflex tests, neurological tests, EKGs, chest x-rays, blood work, and yes even the turn your head and cough test where Jill just had to make the "can I take a picture of this" joke. Its ok, after you go through some infertility tests, that was breeze. We also got caught up on all of the shots needed when the baby comes home like whooping cough, etc.  We were told we were both healthy as horses and they already submitted our physicians papers to our caseworker at Gladney. So even though it was a small milestone, it was milestone none the less.

Also I would like to thank our very sweet sister-in-law for coming all the way out to us to take some pictures for our profile. They turned out great even though we only had about thirty minutes of daylight left and everyone was pouring sweat. She is a real trooper and we couldn't be more grateful. You can check out her work and even book a session, through her facebook page HERE It turned out to be a great day with just a few members of our huge family. We got to chase around two of our nieces and nephew and were able to get great pictures so we can remember everything special through this experience.

Thank you so much for stopping by. We will have more news soon!
