Nothing....

I think the thought of no situations is worse than presenting and not being chosen sometimes. We have only seen two situations this whole month.  It is so frustrating when all around me everyone is getting matched and we aren't seeing anything!  I try to be happy for other people but I begin to wonder why we aren't seeing anything? Why are we not getting chosen? What is wrong with us?

Still Waiting

So, I was so wrong when I thought this would be a quick process. I guess I was tricked by the fact that everything else went so quickly. Application to consultant, super quick. Home study process, less than two weeks. Waiting to be matched, three months now but feels like forever.  I have some hope that even though it might take awhile, it will happen.  I just wish I knew when.
We applied for a matching grant last week. It is kind of a neat idea. If we get approved to do it, they will give us a number of what they will give us, then we send out letters to friends and family asking them to help us out. Up to that certain number, whatever we raise will be matched by the grant people. I really hope that our friends and family will help us with this.
We also applied to a new agency yesterday. We are trying to help ourselves to get more situations.  This one is in Utah so that would be interesting. Hope it will make a difference!

UPDATE...the agency in Utah was a bust. Even though they saw situations for our budget, they were requiring us to have a budget $3,000 higher. We just couldn't do that so I guess we are stuck with what we have for now.
