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!

Big Changes


This week has been quite a week. Yesterday we refinanced our house so we could get a lower interest rate and so we could reduce our mortgage from a 30 year to a 15 year loan. We don't plan on moving anytime soon so we figured it would be the smart thing to do.

And for the big news.....
Daniel is changing jobs!!! His new job will be right down the street from his old job but actually in downtown instead of just outside it. I’m not sure I like that!  I don’t like driving in downtowns with lots of one way streets.


He will be changing careers and will now be working for a startup private equity oil and gas company and will be tasked with figuring if deals are good or not. Although he will miss the people he works with and his old company, we are excited about the new opportunity.
