The first sign of Summertime!

This weekend Sam and I had the amazing privilege of witnessing the first signs of summer..we went to The Drive In! This to me is the first sign of summer this year. When the drive in opens it's a very exciting time because then you know that it is warm enough to watch a movie in your car, or outside sitting in lawn chairs or a gigantic Love Sac. So I am here to tell ya that it is now warm enough at night to do these things..which means, if it's getting warmer at night, it is getting warmer during the day also! I wish I could say that our first drive in experience of the summer was on a gigantic Love Sac, but it wasn't. I am sure we will have many more trips there this summer accompanied by our wonderfully huge and comfortable Love Sac! Also, just gotta point out that the wedding is closer to summer, so signs of summer mean signs that the wedding is just around the corner! Time really is moving, even if it's moving slower than a worm, it's still moving. Seeing a movie at the drive in helped me realize how fast time may be going even if I'm not noticing.

    I LOOOVE the drive-in. We don't get to go too often anymore (six monkeys jumping around in suck a small space just doesn't work for now). I hope the days until the wedding are wonderful (even if they go too slow).

And Just Like That, They Were Gone…..

On August 25, 2021 our lives changed forever. We got the long awaited call for two children who needed a place to stay. We picked up these two children from the Christmas Box House later that day, and met the two most afraid children we have ever met in our lives. I feel the need to express my feelings about the past 6 months as a way to heal as well as write to remember our experiences.  I can’t even begin to express my feelings on this topic. Our kiddos moved on to a wonderful adoptive home about a week ago, and I didn’t realize that I could feel so many different emotions all at the same time.  The children had been living with us for a few months when we got word that the goal for their case was adoption. As two people who were expecting to foster multiple children before actually adopting any children, we felt overwhelmed. We discussed this topic from October on, and went back and forth with our decision daily. Sam and I fell in love with these kiddos pretty quickly and r...

And today our life changed..

Today we had a very life changing experience. We have been meeting for months with an Air National Guard recruiter, and today was the day that Sam and I signed our life away..well at least 6 years of it. We have been thinking about doing this for a very long time and we have been preparing in many ways for this change. Sam was sworn in today February 2,2012 as an airman in the Utah Air Guard. He is in the Engineering installation squadron.  I know he will be great, it will be a big change, but I think it will be for the better. We are not sure of a date that he officially reports for duty, but he is officially part of the whole big military life. We are excited, and hope that this decision will bring great things to our life as well as the blessings that come with serving our country. From what Sam's mom tells me he has wanted to join since the attacks on September 11. I am so glad that he will be able to accomplish one of his big dreams. We have so much family support and we are s...

   It has been forever since I have written a blog post, and I have drafted a few in the past year but haven't posted them. A lot has been going on in our little world over here and I feel like I want to share with my people. Since Sam and I have known each other, we have always known that we wanted to foster children and adopt as many as we can sustain in our household--two at a time. Our 10-year anniversary was this year, and in January, we decided that it has been long enough and we are ready to open our home to a little more love since we have a lot to give. We knew this would be a huge commitment but felt like we are finally ready and have the space to grow our family. We started taking foster classes through Utah Foster Care in March and finished by mid-April with everything we needed to do to prepare for a home study. For those of you that don't know much about foster care, a long list is given to families of what they need to do to be ready to foster children. On the l...
