Oh Snap!!

For the past few weeks Sam has started scaring me when I come out of the bathroom. He will literally wait until the toilet flushes and then comes and quietly stands outside the bathroom door. Naturally, I don't anticipate someone to be standing there and it's quite frightening! This has happened a few times and Sam tends to think he is the funniest thing ever when he is able to freak me out. So I have totally forgiven him for doing this, because it's just fun. So the greatest thing happened on Sam's day off. We were just hangin out, watchin LOST, and Sam got up to use the bathroom. After a minute, I thought, What a perfect opportunity for me to scare Sam with his own joke! So I heard the toilet flush and I quietly, trying not to totally giggle, wait outside the door. Sam opens it, and I am pretty sure he was more scared than I have ever been when he has done it to me. It was the funniest thing! It brought me great joy, and I will never forget how awesome it was to watch Sam jump 5 feet in the air (Okay, well 5 feet may be an exaggeration). Definitely a mental snapshot moment!

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 realized t

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 li
