Easter 2009- Such A Special Treat for Me!

-
Growing up I looked forward to Easter. I think it was because I knew that jelly beans
chocolate eggs, maltballs
dying eggs,and an easter basket were expected to be found all around the house! I also loved going to the fabric store and picking out pattern and fabric for my new easter dress that I would wear to church that Sunday.
When I got a little older and realized how it worked I couldnt wait to be the Easter bunny and be able to do the hiding of the eggs and the candy. I couldnt wait to do the basket and continue in the tradition of a new Easter outfit. I am now older and still having to wait on those dreams but I got a special treat this year. I got to help one of our friends be the Easter Bunny and it was wonderful!

Dying Easter Eggs with the girls!

Ryan adores these three little girls. I just love this shot of him helping the baby get her eggs!





Loving eating all the chocolate and opening the eggs they found outside


Me with the girls and their baskets in their Easter Dresses

Even though we get caught up in the fun part of Easter with the eggs, bunny, and new dresses, the most important part is remembering the Savior and his atonement and resurection. As I watched these three angels enjoy the joy of Easter it sure made me appreciate friendship, love, children and most of all the gospel in my life. I am truly grateful for the opprotunity I had to share this moment with them. It made my day!

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...
