us!

As a surpise to Chad, I had a woman (whom I found on Etsy) make this picture for us. We have gotten a lot of compliments on it. I think it is so cute! There's a funny story behind the image. When we got professional pictures taken back in December, I had picked up a shirt for Chad from the Thrift Store. It was brand new from Target and it still had tags on it. Well, after picking it up at the dry cleaners, I took it straight to the photography studio for him to put it on there since he was meeting me there. Well, turns out the shirt was in little boy sizes not means sizes!!! Whoops!! :-) Well, we had adapt and he ended up wearing a different shirt. So, when I had the image made for us, I had her "put" Chad in the shirt he was supposed to wear for the pictures! LOL

Adoption

This story was on the news a couple weeks ago.  I love seeing positive adoption stories on TV.  They give me hope that "our turn" will come some day!

It's Official!!

About two weeks ago, Chad and I learned that we were officially approved to adopt a child thru the Adoption Option parnthership thru the Village and Lutheran Social Services.  We started the process in September so it was close to 9 months that we were in the approval process.  We are thrilled to actually be a waiting family.  We know the journey is still long and hard but at least we're making progress to achieve the dream we have also wanted-to be a mom and a dad! 

We have a busy summer ahead of us with three weddings in June, a trip to Minneapolis for my birthday and several motorcycle trips planned.  We had a nice Memorial Day weekend and spent Memorial Day at the Veteran's Cemetery in Mandan, ND honoring the service men and woman.  It was really cold out there but it's the least I could do to support what a special place.
