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!

Entering into a New Decade!

As of last Thursday, I am now 30 years old! Last weekend we went over to Daniel's sister, Emily, house and they had a little celebration for me. They ordered Papa Johns pizza and we made mint chocolate chip brownies. Emily also got me a basket of things to take with me when I went camping (we went camping this past weekend). A lot of it came in very handy, but the candy was my favorite :)






 The day of my birthday was kind of blah but around 6, I got a notice that my iphone 5 was ready for pick up. I wasn't expecting to get it for at least a few more weeks so that was a nice surprise! So Daniel met me up at Best Buy so I could get it. When I got home, I ordered a new case (with my Amazon gift card from Daniel's parents) but I'm still waiting for my case to ship. I also got a gift card to Chick-fli-a from my parents and a keepsake friendship box from Willow Tree from one of my best friends from high school. Oh and Daniel gave me money to buy whatever I want! So I got some awesome stuff but I still can't believe I am 30! Although, people now say that your 30's are the best time of your life and they might just be right.
