Welcome

We set up our adoption blog so you can get to know our family a little better. I started blogging back in 2007 and have kept up with it over the years. At the end of every year, we print off our blog for that year and give it to Daniel's mom for her Christmas present. She keeps all of her children's yearly journals in a notebook that we will get back one day to pass down to our kids. I try to keep it up to date as much as I can.


When we decided to start the adoption process, I decided to make an identical blog for birth mothers to read. Everything that I write about my family on our personal blog, I copy it over to my adoption blog. I understand that an adoption profile only gives limited information about us and we want you to have the opportunity to really get to know who we are and what we like to do as a family. Our adoption blog will show you who we were even before we adopted our boys. Feel free to read as much as you want or click on the links up above!

I've been Tagged!

I've been tagged by one of my best friends....Deanna....I love you and miss you!!!

The rules:
1) Link to the person that tagged you.
2) Post the rules on your blog.
3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
5) Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6) Let the fun begin! Six non-important things about myself:

1.) I love to clean my house. Most people hate cleaning but I absolutely love it.

2.) I am very picky when I go to sleep. I have to have two pillows on me in order to sleep. I love the weight of them on me. I developed this habit when I was little and was scared to go to sleep unless I had pillows surrounding me. When I was little I slept with one pillow on each side of my body and then I had at least 6 pillows on top of my covers of a full size bed. I think that I felt more protected.

3.) I'm obsessed with milk. If milk wasn't so expensive these days and Daniel allowed me....I would probably drink 3 gallons of milk a week. So I deal with having two gallons a week. But even though I love milk.....I don't really like cereal with cold milk and I love chocolate but hate chocolate milk.

4.) I love looking at new houses. We live in a neighborhood that is still be developed and it will be like this for many more years. So I love going on walks and going through the houses being built. I also like looking at model homes and getting decorating ideas. If I could do this all day, I would be in heaven. Also one of my favorite shows to watch is House Hunters on HGTV.

5.) I would much rather go shopping for house items than clothes shopping. I love buying things like pictures, paint, window decorations, etc.

6.) So get this...I can't go underwater without holding my nose. I've had several people try to teach me but I've learned to just accept it and I've adapted perfectly fine to swimming in the water while holding my nose.

Ok now I tag.....Jeannie Stone, Hillary Anderson, and Alicia Howse.
