A Little About Us

When we got married, Jeff and I were so very excited. All we ever wanted was to be parents and start our family. When things didn't happen month after month, we were sad, but thought that the Lord knew what he was doing (always a good thing to think). When after about a year things still hadn't happened and having endured all the hurtful comments like "do you need to take lessons" or "what are you waiting for" (you get the general idea), I wondered if my dream of becoming a mom would ever come true.

We fasted and prayed about it together and individually. At some point in all of that fasting and praying, I got the strongest feeling that, though we'd have our own children in the future, we would need to search for one or more of our children. I kept praying over the next little while to see if we were supposed to look into adoption at that time, and the answer we got was not yet. (That's a hard answer to get.)

When we lived in Vegas, we started the process of infertility treatments, but didn't get very far before we moved. Anyone that knows me also knows that I have a very healthy fear of doctors. It's something that was greatly enhanced while on my mission. (long story) But because of that, I didn't continue the treatments when we moved to Washington. And we kept moving because we were definitely being led by our loving Heavenly Father.

When we bought our house here, I was fairly well adjusted to the fact that it wasn't our time yet to have a family, but that it was going to happen at some point. So we completely gutted the front half of our new house so we could do a complete remodel. As soon as we did that, guess what happened. :) Yep, Joshua happened. And I'm so very glad he did. He's been the answer to so many prayers and a complete joy in my life...our lives.

We've loved the last two years of our lives. But, as every mom comes to know, after a while, you start craving a baby again. We've been doing that A LOT lately. And while I watched as one of my dear friends' dreams came true through the miracle of adoption, I was reminded of the very strong feeling I'd had before our own miracle came into our lives.

I kept thinking that maybe we should pray about it again and see what the Lord had in mind for us right now, but (I can't believe I did this) I pushed the thought out of my mind thinking life was too crazy for us (more like for me) at this time. But over the holidays, I kept getting that impression more and more strongly, so I asked Jeff if we could fast and pray about it as well as go to the temple with this in mind.

Needless to say, and as you have probably already guessed, the feeling we got while there (and several times since) was an overwhelming YES, NOW IS THE TIME!

So, I called LDS Family Services and asked the extremely nice woman how we could start this process for our family. She was kind enough to answer my questions...ok, maybe it was her job to do so, but she did it in a very nice and understanding way. I liked her, even though she didn't give me her name. :)

She told me that she'd put our first set of paperwork to fill out in the mail. I thought that I'd get them in two days at the very earliest. Nope. I got them the next day, and I filled them out with the exception of about 2 lines and Jeff's signatures which had to wait until he got home. So, we officially started our adoption process! We've met our wonderful caseworker at LDS Family Services and have started jumping as quickly as possible through all the hoops we'll need to get through.

I just know everything will work out the way it should and that we'll soon enough have a little angel to hold and coo at and love. :)

Adopt a Blanket?

My husband and I are hoping to adopt. As a way to help pay for the adoption costs, I'm making and selling quilts; mainly baby blankets, but I'm open to doing bigger quilts, too.

If you see something you like, let me know. If you don't see something you like, but would like to purchase a blanket, take a picture of some fabric you like and what store you saw it in, and I'll go get it to make the blanket you want. I've set up a PayPal account to make money transfer easier.

So, help us adopt a baby by adopting a blanket! :)
