Family comes to visit

-




Last weekend we had Ryan's aunt, grandma and mom come into town to visit for a very short weekend. They arrived at 2:00 in the morning on Sat or should it be late Friday night? They then left by noon on Sunday. It was so nice to see them though. Ryan's mom and grandma flew to California to drop off the newest member of the family to his Aunt Jen. Her name is Joy and she is three and half months old and she is so long and skinny and so cute. She is getting along really well with her older sister Grrr. Here are some fun pictures of the two of them playing in our backyard. and then of all of us together. I hadnt gotten ready for the day so dont mind the basketball shorts and t-shirt.

Last week I was home doing some work before I had to leave for a Home Visit. I was siting on my couch when I hear someone on my back porch moving our chairs around. I thought it was Ryan since sometimes he comes in from the back when he puts his tools and ladders away. Except after this man gets the chair he places it in the corner by our french doors and sits down! My heart starts to beat and I go to the front to see if Ryan's truck is outside. His truck is NOT outside!!!! I then go to the window where the previous renters had broke and pear out and see a man sitting in my chair with tattoos all up his arm, wearing a wife beater and dickie shorts. He is crouched really close to the wall on the chair. My hearts begins to beat so fast! THERE IS A MAN ON MY BACK PORCH AND I AM HOME ALONE! My first reaction was to call the police. I called 911 and the lady was so sweet she told me to stay calm and that police were on their way. She asked me what he looks like and I told her. She the...

This is really LONG and sorry mostly words but those of you who like to read my spiritual posts continue on because this is a big one! Just before Christmas Ryan and I were told about a possible adoption opportunity. We had talked about adopting in the past but had not done anything about it due to well.............. I cant really say. With this new opportunity of, just by chance my waiting to be a mom could be over, brought lots of emotions of excitement, joy, worry, anxiety, hope, and so many more. We needed to get our acts together right away in the process since the potential birth mom was due in May. Ryan's mom has a dear friend working for LDS services here in Washington and got us set up right away to get started on all the paperwork, online stuff, and going about getting all the background checks and homestudy done. We have done a lot and have moved forward in faith always asking if this is meant to be then let it happen. I did not want to have a baby that was not meant to ...

So I was asked a couple of weeks ago to teach a class for Enrichment on: HOW to CREATE a SAFE BLOG I had been fighting the feeling of putting my blog private for sometime now. I am a little lazy and haven't wanted to take the extra time to get everyones email and then go through the process of changing things over but the time has come TO MAKE A CHANGE! I do use my blog to share my life and all aspects of it. I have been really personal in the past year and I know that a lot of people that I really didnt/shouldnt have read the things that I have been going through have read it. I am coming to terms that it is NOT SAFE and this CHANGE is VERY necessary.  So to all of you that I see come on my blog ( via- my traffic feed and even though it doesn't say sometimes your name, I put two and two together) :) that I would call BLOG STALKER since you do not give a sweet comment but look and leave- HERE is your CHANCE to give me your email address so t...
