Love


We are so thankful for all of our Family and Friends and for all the kind words, love, and support that we have been shown! We are excited to share our journey with others and can’t wait for the day that we get to meet our little one. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t talk about what our experience will be like and how sure we are that this road we are on is part of a WELL thought out plan. I already feel an unconditional amount of love for our Birth Mom and can’t wait to meet her! We are still in the ‘final’ stages of getting everything ready and online but we are almost there! Thanks to all of those who have helped us get this far. But most of all, thanks to my PERFECT husband who has been nothing but amazing! I love you!

Beginning of our Journey

{Faith, Hope, and Prayer}
I feel so blessed to be married to such an amazing person and have a wonderful relationship. I am so happy that we have had 4 years to get to know each other and become best friends. We have always prayed for our future family and have such a strong desire to become parents and teach our children. However, the road set out for us hasn’t been an easy one or one that we would have imagined for ourselves. We have had many ups and downs while trying to add little ones to our family. I have experienced many emotions that I didn’t know existed and I am sure Phil was wondering WHERE his wife was!! I decided to stop worrying so much about it and started to veer my focus elsewhere; on things that I could control. I can’t tell you how many times I have been on my knees begging and pleading for strength. I have had many special experiences and moments that have helped me see beyond MY desires. Feelings that I can’t explain with words have put Phil and I on a new road; a road that I have always felt WE would be on. We have put our adoption papers in with LDS Family Services and pray every day that our baby will find its way safely to our home. We are so excited for our journey ahead!!
Thanks for all the support that our family and friends have shown us. We love you all so much! Please continue to pray for our family.
