I can not believe it has been a month since I posted. Our lives are so busy now. No one warned me of the time it takes to have a teenager. There is the driving back and forth to school, then back to practice and back again to take Marcus back to GOV. But of course I would not trade it for anything.
So since my last post alot has happened. On the 28th of August Marcus stayed the night. It went really well. David and him ended up sleeping on the couches while watching movies. This seems to be a trend in our home for the weekends. This weekend we also met one of Marcus' friends Kelvin. He went to church with us and hung out at the house all day Sunday. Kelvin is 17 and will be aging out of the system in December. David and I feel lead to guide Kelvin in this extremely difficult time. Imagine not having anyone or anywhere to go when you turned 18. No one to help you enroll in college or school, get an apartment, turn on utilities. I thank God everyday for the parents that I have! It must the most difficult thing to ever deal with.

So during September we have gotten to have 2 home visits per week and all weekend from Friday after school until Sunday night. Our weekends usually consist of Friday practice, Saturday game and movie night, and Sunday Church and hanging out at home (Kelvin is now spending Sundays with us).
On the 6th we had lunch with a very special family who has been through this whole process and is guiding us and helping us with the process. All the boys (Marcus, Kelvin, and Devin) had so much fun playing video games and shooting guns. It is so nice to have someone who has been here and to bounce things off of.
On the 17th Marcus had his judicial review and we received the ok for him to move in. So on Friday the 25th Marcus will leave GOV for good and move in with the crazy Sabo family. 
We are so excited that he will be here all the time. I hope this move is not to much on him. Please pray that God leads us all and that the transition is smooth.
I want to thank all my friends and family for their support during this stressful time. You are the dearest and best friends I could ever ask for.
And a special thank you to one of my Best friends for all she does for me. She is always offering to watch the kids while we visits or appointment to be at. She constantly calls to make sure we are doing ok and make sure there is nothing she can do to ease our load. So thank you very much, you know who you are.
