Text of the page (random words):
f it i got to visit with my beautiful beautiful niece this weekend and loved seeing her beautiful face miss willow is something else and she has added so much love to our small little family after my nephew was born 18 years ago we had to wait a long time to welcome another little one here s a recent picture of her and i i seen this outfit for her and couldn t resist she sure is loved beyond words and i look forward to our children growing up together i hope everyone has a wonderful week and remember you are blessed posted by unknown at sunday august 18 2013 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 21 july 2013 9 months a couple of days ago dh and i reached a milestone in our waiting era we reached the 9 month mark for me this is a huge milestone for a couple of reasons for one if i were able to get pregnant we would ve been due to have our baby in a hospital with labor pains epidurals family blah blah blah i think about how fast the time has went and imagine how fast my own pregnancy would ve went if only i were able to conceive we have submitted a complete makeover to our online profile through our adoption agency we changed our birth parent letter and traded out all of our pictures to replace the old boring ones with new ones showing off some of our adventures together we don t know what birth mothers look for we ve been told my other friends who have adopted that sometimes it s the weirdest things that make the birth mother connect to an adoptive family whatever the case may be we felt after looking at the same online profile over and over that it was time for an overhaul one last thing if you are a praying person at all i ask you to please take a moment and say a prayer for a special little boy i m hoping to be able to share this story later after all the details are worked out but in the meantime all i can say is please pray that god grants him love and hope for all his years to come hope everyone has had a wonderful sunday posted by unknown at sunday july 21 2013 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 19 june 2013 time keeps moving today makes 8 months that dh and i have been officially waiting to be matched with our forever child our social worker mrs b had to come to our new home today so she could do a walk thru of the new place and ensure all requirements were met we were excited to see her this morning any communication we have with her connects us to the reality that we are really doing this we are really on our way to building our family i m really going to be a mom we still don t know when our child will be placed with us but we are hopeful and are strong in god s will that his timing will reveal itself in other news the laziness has officially set it with this whole summer off thing i seriously need to get back into my classroom and start working on new ideas for the upcoming school year it s so easy to work on things tomorrow lol in my case though tomorrow turns into days and weeks i need to step it up and get ta gettin i hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week and hopefully i ll be blogging soon with exciting news posted by unknown at wednesday june 19 2013 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 29 may 2013 where should i begin sooooooo many new things have happened in our lives in the past 1 5 months my last blog this doesn t surprise me since everything with dh and i moves at rapid speed lol new thing 1 dh and i are working on week 4 at our new home we decided to take the plunge and purchase a home that was bigger so that when baby b comes along it won t be such a tight squeeze for space we purchased a home that we love and have been working on getting everything situated just the way we want it new thing 2 dh and i decided to move forward with foster care foster care is something i hold very dear to my heart i have witnessed 7 children come in and out of my home and and return to family members while previously being a foster mommy before i met dh i have always been passionate about it working with children everyday in my profession i see what the need is for good stable homes for these children there just aren t enough ultimately we want to adopt out of foster care along with our adoption agency we would love to have several children and will pray god sees fit for us to do so new thing 3 we have been officially waiting for a match through our adoption agency for 7 5 months now i have spoken to the social workers several times via email just asking for updates with our profile there have been several birthmoms view our profile thus far but for whatever reason we weren t matched this is ok we know god has hand picked our child for us and when the time is right he will reveal the child to us so it continues to be a waiting game aka test in patience new thing 4 dh and i both survived this past school year and are now out for the summer this last group of kiddos were a challenged to say the least but we all worked together to help develop these children and prepare them for the years to come some days it was a struggle but others it was a breeze i must say i ve had some interesting stories from this group lol i plan to get back in the swing of blogging full time again i ve missed it i ve missed expressing my thoughts i ve missed connecting with my blog friends and reading your stories about daily life experiences i ve just missed you again for those of you that do take the time to read my blog please click to join me over on the right side and i ll do the same for you in return i love connecting with you guys posted by unknown at wednesday may 29 2013 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 09 april 2013 blog changes i never have been computer savvy by any means since i started this blog to document our adoption journey i ve became more and more envious of those that have these cute little fancy blogs i want one i ve searched through tutorials and apparently i m not a very good googler either because i m just not finding user friendly information i want to bedazzle my blog and make it stand out i want my future child to look back and read my blog and be fascinated with what his her momma can do with social networking i want to add simple buttons and links it s sooooo frustrating lol if anyone out in blog land can offer some website or help me out in some way with my page i would greatly appreciate it i m currently trying to add a button i think that s what they re called to the side of my page for a second fundraiser i am starting and i can t figure out how to display a button that will link to the fundraising page please help if you can in the meantime please

shopping posted by unknown at tuesday april 09 2013 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 25 march 2013 funding let me start with i can t believe how expensive it is to adopt okay now i feel a little teeny weeny bit better i m so frustrated today so many things are piling up on dh and i and it feels like there s more bad than good here lately don t get me wrong i still truly feel blessed for the life god has given me and i give thanks daily for those blessings this is just one of those days that i wanna bury my head in a pillow in a dark room all by my lonesome and just cry when i found out 15 years ago there was no chance i could conceive and carry a baby i was only 18 years old it was rough it was tough but i prayed my way through and know with my whole heart that that just wasn t the plan god had for me i refuse to think that god didn t want me to be a mother this is where i struggle i don t know what plan he has for me in this department i only know that the longing i have to hold my precious child is only getting stronger i pray i pray that god will bring me my precious miracle in the form he sees fit it s hard not knowing what that way is several years ago i was a foster mommy while wanting to help the children who belonged to the state i was also in it for selfish reasons i wanted to find the child that was supposed to be mine the child that needed a mommy and daddy and a house full of love i did meet some absolutely amazing kiddos as 7 of them passed through my home and were reunited with family members this also left me with more of a longing than ever to have my own child i didn t and don t like an empty home i enjoyed diaper changes baths nightly feedings etc that i got to experience with my foster babies when the kiddos left they took a piece of me with them that can only be filled by my child so i was left with 2 choices i could either adopt or do surrogacy i met with a highly recommended doctor at a fertility clinic who assured me it wouldn t take anymore than a couple of rounds to be successful while he assured me there s still no guarantee that oodles of money would ve been spent and empty arms being the end result so dh and i decided adoption was the choice that best fit our family we have been waiting a little over 5 months now and we are so happy with how fast the time has gone our only major obstacle now is the financial aspect of adoption we are on the waiting list for an infant through an open domestic adoption while we are okay financially we are just that ok we are both teachers and work harder than what we make but we don t complain because we both love what we do we have a passion to teach kids to love kids and to be a part of the molding kids of our future here s what i m asking of my friends both blogger and facebook i ve created a donate button on the top right of my blog for those of you that would be able to donate in any way please don t think i m begging for money although it seems like i am as i know god will find a way to provide i only ask that if you are led to donate that you do and in return thank you so much for even taking the time to read my blog and follow my journey of trying to becoming a mommy posted by unknown at monday march 25 2013 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 19 march 2013 5 months and updates today makes 5 months of officially waiting for dh and i time is just traveling by and i attribute most of that to being so busy at work since i started teaching the years have just flown by literally i keep saying by the end of next school year i should def be a mommy based on the average wait time that would be 1 5 years we are hoping we get the call sooner but as i ve said in many posts before we know it s all in his timing so we wait and we continue praying for patience i haven t blogged since march 4 and although i ve been meaning to it seems these last few weeks have been quite challenging here s a quick update dh and i lost one of our students who was so very special to us we bought a house new construction and have had to pick out all types of designs for everything we are less than 2 weeks away from mexico spring break we have missed school for snow and for flooding my sweet dachshund passed away from fluid building up around her heart we are busy planning for my younger sister s baby shower that will be next weekend and for now i think that s all of the major updates it s been a very busy few weeks i ve had emotions that were high and emotions that were low i ve leaned completely on god for his help dealing with so many different things on top of my job and testing and not enough time to cover material and blah blah blah i know everything will fall into place as it should sometimes it s just comforting to ask for an extra prayer posted by unknown at tuesday march 19 2013 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
