Terri's Desk Challenge....

Terri from 'our whole world in His hands' has tagged me with the desk challenge. So....here is my desk. It's not really my desk, the whole family shares it, but this is where I write my blog. My husband hates all clutter, so he keeps it very tidy.

Every day I try to visit each of the blogs on my favorite blogs list and anyone new who has commented on the seventh diamond. I keep a notepad nearby so I can jot down any news that I think I should post about.

To me, the families on my favorite blogs list are the community of people who have offered me support and advice throughout my adoption journey and in turn, I do whatever I can to do the same for them. I really would be a basket case without these relationships.


This is a closer shot of the desk. Pretty simple when you look it, but here is where I come to find answers, friendship and understanding. This adoption is such a huge part of our lives and this community understands through experience what we are going through. It's not that our friends and family in the 'outside world' do not support us. It is just impossible for them to truly grasp how this feels and why we are choosing to adopt our daughter from China.

I tag Steffie, Elizabeth, Kris and Glinda...they each are artists in their own way. Some with their blogs, some with their photographs and some with their words. I would love to see where they sit when inspiration hits them.

Steffie's blog is 'Never Too Many', Elizabeth's blog is 'DragonflyandLadybug', Kris's blog is 'Mad Race for Macey', Glinda's blog is 'Give Me Back My Slippers'.

Disclaimer: I don't keep this desk clean, my husband does. He throws away my sticky notes, organizes the top of the desk and frowns if I leave things out of place. I wish I could take credit for how nice it looks, but it's really my man.
