The reservations have been made!

I have just made the reservations for our trip in October! We will be staying at the Homewood Suites by Hilton. Our total cost for the hotel stay will be $1323. That's for 12 nights and includes a one bedroom King Suite for myself, Edwin, and Noah (and his doggie once we get there), full breakfast every morning, and dinner 4 nights a week. That is an amazing price for all that considering we will only have to worry about lunch every day and dinners on the weekend! The rooms have a full refrigerator, a double stove top (but no oven), and a microwave. We will be able to make stove top meals on the days they are not provided and can pack sandwiches and such for lunches! So we will do all possible to keep our overall costs down! I'll be taking lots of groceries with us to help save on costs too since things are higher in Ohio!

Now the only thing we have left to complete before we start the actual "wait" is the video. We have to make a video about Noah and his everyday life! It must include everything so this will be a lengthy process but one we must finish ASAP. So if you see us out and about and I'm holding a camera as we go, don't think I'm some crazy nut! I have good reason to be chasing my child with a camera!!

Once again I will ask, if you or someone you know has any spare Hilton HHonors points you'd like to donate, that can greatly help bring down the cost of our hotel stay! Maybe you could sponsor a night for us for just $110.25. I'd even give you recognition on your sponsored night on our blog update while in training! Or if you'd like to help in any other ways, we can use restaurant gift cards, gas gift cards, and I've started a "Doggie Wish List" on the left of this blog of things we will need once our new family member gets home!!

We appreciate all you prayers too! If all you can help with is prayer, we need that most!! Thanks everyone for everything! If it wasn't for all of you, this would have never been possible!!
