REALLY GREAT FRIENDS...

SO...we met Paul and Tanya a few months ago when we moved into our new home - they had moved into theirs a few months earlier. Paul and Desiree instantly bonded and would meet in the parking lot and have conversations for hours on end. It took Tanya and Scott a little while longer than Paul and Desiree to connect, but now the four of us have grown quite close. It's now to the point where we'll go to get the mail, we'll see Paul and Tanya, and two hours later we'll eventually make it home. We have got to know them and have learned a lot from them, but nothing could prepare us for how great these two people would be and how much we would be blessed by having them in our lives.

Just the other day they announced that they wanted to throw us a fundraiser to help us raise money for our big trip to go pick up our baby and bring him or her home. They had been discussing this for quite some time without us knowing. It's hard to explain the feeling you get when someone you've basically just met offers such a selfless, caring and unbelievable gesture of kindness - we are truly honoured to call them friends. We have already become an Uncle and Aunt to their little girl Tess and can't wait for them to be an Uncle and Aunt to our little one. Paul and Tanya probably have no idea how their thoughtfulness truly brightened our world at a time that we needed it most.

Further information on the fundraiser will be announced soon. Watch for more details!
