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!

Valentine's Day

Daniel is not a fan of Valentine's day at all. He thinks it is more of a holiday for flower sales and Hallmark. But I still wanted to do something anyway. So we got up early and headed across town. We wanted to go see a movie and they are cheaper in the morning and less crowded. We had both been wanting to see Taken for a while now and so that is what we saw. What an amazing movie! I loved it. It is definitely a movie we will be buying on blu-ray when it comes out.

We ended up driving across town because I wanted to go eat at my place, BJ's Restaurant. There aren't many around. Anyways, they have the best pizza and the greatest dessert ever. The Pizookie! It a big cookie and the best thing is that you can split it half and half. So I got chocolate chunk and Daniel got macadamia nut. If you have never been, it's worth the drive to go check it out. (also if you've had Cheddar's version of the pizookie...it is disgusting compared to BJ's)

After we left BJ's, we decided to head over to River Legacy Park. This place holds a special place in my heart because this is where Daniel proposed to me. It's a wonderful and pretty park if you are ever looking for a nice area to have a picnic, go for a nice walk or bike ride, or even take your dog to. We went down to the area that he proposed to and just enjoy some time there with just the two of us.

This is where he proposed to me.
This is us on Valentine's Day of this year
This was right after he popped the question - 1/13/06
