Adoption

Today I have been thinking a lot about what it is that I truly want my life to be. As many of you know life doesn't ask us what we want before things are put in our path that does not really work into what we have planned or scheduled. I have wanted to be a mother since I can remember, my goals as a small girl were very simple, perform on broadway, get married, have a fammily and to teach.
Well, I didn't get to perform on broadway but I did get to perform in several schools around Utah, Nevada, Colorado, California, Tahiti, and England. I think that will be ok for that goal.




I married one of the most amazing men I know and love him so very much. I couldn't accomplish what I do without him right by my side to help me through all of the ugliness that life has thrown at me.





I am alomost finished with my teaching degree and actually have the opportunity right now to work in a school that allows me to help with teaching the children to read and to be safe.



So I have accomplished most of the goals that I set out to do as a small girl. The one goal that has not yet been reached is that of having my own family. As many of you know, Brandon and I have tried for the past 13 years to have our own family and have not been successful in this endevor. We have gone through the pain of being so excited knowing we were pregnant just to have our hopes and dreams crushed by the lose of the pregnancy. Because we want to have a family of our own so badly we took this desire to the Lord. We prayed for answers of how it was we were to have our family and were guided to adoption. We understand that this is a huge sacrifice for someone else as well as our selves to put all of our trust and faith in the Lord.


I have empty arms and they long to be filled with the warm and sweetness of a child that I can call my own. I am asking with all of the fiber of my being that you will pass on our adoption link to everyone that you know. Brandon and I have so much love to give. We cherise the time we get to spend with our nieces and nephews and the wonderful kiddos of our friends but it is very lonely for us when we leave them or they leave us. We want to be able to bring our own kids to the playdates and birthdays that we so happliy and love to participate in.

Please, please forward our request to all that you know.

I know that I have a choice to be happy no matter what life has instore for me and that I infact get to choose many of the things life brings, but for those things that I do not get to choose I will keep praying and living to be able to experience the life that God feels is right for me. Thanks to all who love and support us in all that we do, we feel your love and prayers daily in our lives and love you all so very much.
I am going to try to live life like the song says,"It's not the breaths you take but the moment that take your breath away". I hope that all of you will too!
