today we find ourselves in the beautiful state of georgia. why? you may ask... because a wonderful couple has chosen us to adopt their baby! along with all of you they are following us on this journey on our blog - a special shout-out to them!!! we were lucky enough to accompany them to the doctor today. her ultra-sound isn't until next week, but i (megan) got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!!! i have never heard a sweeter sound.
we want to share this with all of you. it looks like she is due the beginning of may, but that is subject to change after the ultra-sound. parenthood -- here we come!!!
we feel so blessed and so lucky and just marvel at how fantastic this all is. these two people who have chosen us are magnificent people with such big hearts.
please enjoy this video...

friends helping haiti's orphans...
We know that all of you are aware of the terrible circumstances in Haiti due to the earthquake.
Prior to the earthquake we were in contact with an Orphanage, Foyer Coin Des Cieux: http://internationalsocialwork.wikispaces.com/Foyer%20Coin%20des%20Cieux%20Orphanage?f=print
(please do not donate to the banks listed on their website as they do not have access to their banks at this time- keep reading for ways to help).
The Orphanage is run by a wonderful man, Fritzner Morlant. As many of you know we have been trying to adopt and our hearts have been pulled to Haiti for many years now. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Fifty percent of Haiti’s children do not reach their fifth birthday because of poverty and disease. That was before the earthquake. We have a close friend who lived in Haiti for a few years and is very good friends with Fritzner and has talked with him nearly every day since the earthquake. The orphanage was destroyed and now they are taking care of 84 children as opposed to the 24 they had before the catastrophe. Since the earthquake we have personally been in contact with Fritzner and he has expressed a great need to help the children he serves.
We were looking forward to collecting care packages to send to the orphanage, but Fritzner informed us that much of the boxed aid is stolen before it arrives. He said that a lot of the aid being provided in his area goes to whomever is strong enough to steal it, and then it is typically sold to the highest bidder. We don’t know if this is the case everywhere, but we know it to be the case in his area. He drives to the Dominican Republic (far away) to purchase supplies. Unfortunately he is unable to withdraw funds from his banks in Haiti and can only receive money via Western Union.
It is our intention to raise as much money as we can for Fritzner and his ophange. We know these are difficult financial times for us all and many of you have already given to other organizations. Our family has decided to go without a meal or two and donate the money we would have spent on these meals to help feed and care for these children in this orphanage. We ask you to consider seriously what you are able to give. Your sacrifices will go so far to help these children.
We will personally withdraw the money regularly from this account and send it directly to Fritzner via Western Union. There are no third parties involved. Every single penny goes to help the children in this orphanage. Your money will not even be used to pay wire transfer fees.
There are 3 ways to donate:
1. Walk into any Bank of America and deposit any donation into account # 21658-03373
2. If you have a PayPal account you can send any donation by doing the following:
Log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.com

how to help an orphanage in haiti
we are in communication with a man who runs an orphanage in haiti. the number of orphans in his care has jumped from 24 to 84 since the earthquake. they do not have access to their bank accounts and are reliant upon western union to get funds to buy necessities to live on. their building has been destroyed!
the director of the orphanage is a member of our church and we can guarantee that every penny will be used to help his orphans. we are creating a paypal account just for this haitian orphanage that should be ready tomorrow. any amount that you can donate will go so far. even if you only can spare $1.00!!! a link to his orphanage website (not in English) is http://internationalsocialwork.wikispaces.com/Foyer+Coin+des+Cieux+Orphanage?f=print
***please*** don't donate via their website as they have no way to access their banks at this time. we thank you so much for your help and prayers. these children are in need of everything.

mlk, jr. - a remarkable man
well, i tried for quite a while to add a photo of martin luther king, jr. but for some reason my computer won't let me.
i'd just like to put a few quotes here by this extraordinary man. quite a few years ago i had the chance to see the mlk center and the original ebeneezer church where he preached. i went there with my cousin brynn and her husband kalvin on our trip from chicago to florida. it is something i will never forget.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." --MLK Jr.
"he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it. he who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." --MLK Jr.
"i have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." --MLK Jr.
"i have decided to stick with love. hate is too great a burden to bear." --MLK Jr.
"life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?" --MLK Jr.
"never succumb to the tempation of bitterness." --MLK Jr.
"pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check. but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul." --MLK Jr.
"everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. . .You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." --MLK Jr.
let's all agree this day to be a little bit better. to fight injustice where we see it. to reach out.

earthquake in haiti - how we can help
i'm sure that most of you know that haiti was hit yesterday with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. vinny and i have felt a strong desire to adopt from haiti for a while now. before this earthquake hit it was estimated that 50% of children did not live to see thier fifth birthday because of poverty and disease. think about that 50%!
the early reports are showing complete devastation in haiti from this earthquake. people who lived in shacks are now homeless. so many people are dead or missing. i know that particularly at this time in the world most of us don't have much extra money to give. if you find yourselves to be fortunate enough to give a little, i have a small list of organizations that are working directly with haiti.
the first is our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. all donations are used for humanitarian purposes. the others are the red cross and then a link to organizations that have been checked out by cnn.
here you go:
http://tinyurl.com/ycq82od
http://www.redcross.org/
www.cnn.com/impact
if you do not find yourself able to give money at this time, perhaps you could donate blood. also, the greatest thing we can do is offer sincere prayers to our Heavenly Father who loves all of His children.

a request...
you probably all know by now that we are waiting for an adoption of a child from china. for reasons that are not clear, adoptions from china have all but screached to a halt. we have waited for 3 years so far, and we have been told by our agency to be prepared to wait (possibly) many more years. vinny and i have been married for 9 1/2 years and can't wait to be parents.
we have decided that while we wait for our daughter from china we will also pursue other avenues of adding to our family. we are open to considering adoption from most other countries, and are also open to adopting domestically.
if any of you have experience with a particular agency that you would like to recommend, we welcome that with open arms. if you have friends who can recommend an agency please let us know. i'm feeling pretty confused about just where to start.
we are also hoping to get pregnant and would welcome your prayers for us on this matter.
thanks to everyone for all of your support! merry christmas and happy holidays!!!
love, megan and vinny

an attitude of gratitude
vinny and i just read the article on lds.org called "an attitude of gratitude." it's awesome!
on this day of thanksgiving i just want to list a few of the blessings that i (megan) feel i have been blessed with lately.
first of all, i am so thankful for vinny and for the fun and silliness and strength that he brings to my life. he is such a hard worker and a wonderful husband. (not to mention he's sooooooo good-lookin'!) i count it my greatest blessing in life that i am married to him for eternity.
i am so very greatful for my parents and for the examples that they have set for me my entire life. they have provided me with unconditional love (even when i might not have been very lovable) and support. i am also blessed to have 2 wonderful brothers who set examples for me of how to be loving and spiritual. they have both married women that i am proud to call my sisters. and i am of course thankful for my nephews and my niece.
i am thankful for my two cats even though they are ususally very naughty.
i am thankful for my extended family - my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, and all of my cousins. they provide me with endless love and entertainment.
i am very thankful to know that my Heavenly Father loves me. i am thankful to know of the love that my Savior, Jesus Christ has for me. i am so blessed to have this as the foundation for my life.
and i am thankful for all of you, my friends. even if we only "see" each other on our blogs, or on facebook, i am thankful for your friendship.

blast off... new orleans!
well, we've made it here safe and sound!
new orleans is hoping that hurricane ida is not going to hit here! they are expecting a lot of rain, two inches tomorrow. living where we live vinny and i do not even own an umbrella - guess we'll be buying a couple of those today.
yesterday was spent in traveling here, we left our house at about 3:30 am, and hopped our first plane at 6:20. i had the good fortune to sit next to a lady that kept throwing up, claiming it was "just her diabetes." um, pretty sure it was more than that - if i get sick can i sue her? ha. ha.
when we were waiting to board our plane in atlanta vinny wanted to walk around for a few minutes. well, i waited while they boarded first class, then they boarded the next group, then the next. still no vinny. finally they had boarded everyone, and i mean everyone and vinny was still no where to be seen. they were getting ready to shut the door when he comes wandering up with a giant ice cream cone in his hand! how do you like that?
after landing in new orleans and surviving the wild taxi ride to our airport we got to check out our cool hotel. it used to be a rice factory or something like that. the room is very pretty and best of all the giant bed is very comfy!
right now we are waiting to get our table at the famous brennan's - excited to eat "the world's best egg's benedict"!
we're really looking forward to exploring the city every evening after vinny's conference.
hopefully we'll update everyday and hopefully have some cool photos for you, too!

i am trying to write a new post with a bunch of photos. i want the photos in a specific order, and i want to write things above or below each photo.
i can't seem to do this.
every time i add a photo it puts it at the top of my blog and i have to drag it down to where i want it to go. but then it moves my writing all around. how can i add a photo where i want it to go? and put writing above or below it?
am i the only one with this problem? am i making sense?

mastering the art of french kissing... i mean cooking!
so, vinny and i went and saw julie and julia today. more like, i said "i will see that stupid g.i. joe movie with you if you will see julie and julia with me." and off we went.
i am now filled with the desire to concoct a chocolate souffle of some sort, or at the very least, poach an egg.
i adored the movie. i adore meryl streep. but the way she played julia child was just luminous. the flashes in her eyes, her infectuous laughter... i wanted to climb into the movie and hug her. mostly, i think that's because in her quiet moments meryl as julia reminded me of my grandma. her playfulness, her determination, but mostly her happy confidence in herself.
the movie actually inspired me. maybe not to write a book, but to find something that i love to do. and do it.
maybe i'll start with poaching an egg...

let us remember...
as we go about celebrating today, let us all take some time to remember why this day is so special. whatever our beliefs are about the war, memorial day is a day to celebrate the lives of those who were lost defending our freedoms and our country for generations.
i want to take just a moment to remember one young man who was killed in iraq. mark carter was a few years younger than i. we went to school and church together. he was a member of the navay seals and was killed in iraq. losing mark really put a face to this war for me. we can debate these wars forever, but the truth is that really good people are giving their lives for our country. may they never be forgotten.
