65 years and counting…. January 16, 2014. Our quest for getting into a home w/ a little bit of breathing room has been a 6.5 year journey. And it’s not over. You guys rallied around us, prayed for us, messaged us the most encouraging words when I shared on Facebook our situation of trying to move in this stage of our adoption- it was completely humbling. I have adoption news to share- and it’s good and exciting! But I’m saving that for tomorrow. In, through, and to Him…. So soon. But not. Give 1 Save 1.

No.41:: Changing the World For One: April 2014
http://nofortyone.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2014. Two things prompted me to pull this little post from the archives (and update it a bit) today. One, I have been watching How It's Made on the Science Channel. I am completely captivated to see how a pair of jeans comes to be or how rubber duckys are born, and two, I was adding a few new "oops" bags for sale. Below, Patrice is gaining skills by making little bags for her necklaces. We make a pattern for everything (which doesn't always mean anything). :) Generally, we will ta...

No.41:: Changing the World For One: September 2014
http://nofortyone.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 12, 2014. Here is the first of a new series, straight from Amy, of stories about what’s happening at the No.41 house. The stories may be short, funny, deep, or random, but hopefully they will give you a little more insight into life here at 41. Let's talk about Jeanette! We are making beads again! The ladies are busy making beads (one of their least favorite things to do) for some new bags we are working on! Thursday, September 4, 2014. The Power of Ten. I'd like to take some time and i...

The Talk: The first time I said the words You’re adopted to my son. June 5, 2014. June 5, 2014. Disclaimer: not one of my lighter posts! It happened. The conversation Jon and I knew was coming. The one that we’ve been preparing ourselves for. The one that wasn’t supposed to be any big deal- just a formality. Magnus asked me why Moses had two mommas. And I’ve been wrecked ever since. It was NOT just a formality for me. But God changed all that in such a breathtakingly beautiful turn of events. I can say w...

No.41:: Changing the World For One: The Great Exchange
http://nofortyone.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-great-exchange.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. I get by with a little help from my friends. -The Beatles. Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. -Desmond Tutu. Maybe you've heard our whole story, or enough pieces of it, so I won't go into all of it here. But, in case you haven't, here's the quick run down. In 2011, I ( Tara. I love this photo so hard. And, as you may also know, we have been hurting since our girl Alison. Div class="No-41" style="widt...

No.41:: Changing the World For One: The Power of Ten
http://nofortyone.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-power-of-ten.html
Thursday, September 4, 2014. The Power of Ten. Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." -Socrates. I don't think it's a stretch to say that our ladies have found their flames working at No.41. They are learning just how dearly loved they are, not just by us, but by their Heavenly Father. They are learning that they were created to burn bright in this world, for themselves and for others. Sponsorship makes this possible. You. We are looking for TEN $100/month sponsors, but, of c...

Congratulations! You’ve been Pre-Approved! | big grey couch
https://sarahstepan.com/2014/05/16/congratulations-youve-been-pre-approved
You’ve been Pre-Approved! May 16, 2014. Have you guys ever been in a mud pit? A kid’s prosthetic…. It’s amazing how many times I’ve thought about that mud pit during this adoption because the similarities are uncanny. Progress is slow and messy. Running is out of the question. It’s frustrating at the time, but will probably be thought of more fondly years down the road. I think we fit more in the home birth category. At the beginning of the month I posted this on Instagram:. Good Morning Jon and Sarah,.
