Just Do It!

Considering I am home ALL THE TIME, I sure am bad at keeping up on blogging. Time has sure flown since we have been here in Mississippi, and it's hard to believe but it's only 18  days until Sam graduates and we make our way back home to Utah. YAY! We are so excited, but we have found some new I guess you could say entertainment..for Christmas we decided to get an X-box with money we got from family members..I am not a gamer at all, but I agreed to get the console for one purpose and one purpose only. Since our X-box came with a kinnect, we wanted a Nike video game. We have the nike fuel bands which have helped us become more active since we got them, but the video game helps you earn "fuel" on the fuel band and it also burns about 200 times each workout you do. The workouts are about 30 minutes. We have been doing this workout for about 2 1/2 weeks and it is intense.  Getting into a harder workout has been really hard for me..I realized almost instantly that I am very out of shape and that I wish I was a little more fit. Sam and I have each made goals that we would like to fulfill as far as our weight and fitness and we hope to do it by this summer. We both want to lose about 15lbs.(more or less) and I am fully confident that we can do it! We have also started stocking up on veggies and chicken, and tossing out the sugar and fat. It's been really hard, because as a woman, I need my chocolate! Sam is doing really well with the diet and the workout, and I continue to struggle..I just keep going and going..which is the best I can do. I really hope this workout and diet will work for us, and can't wait to see how it plays out. I think that during this whole thing I have been learning that not everything comes easy to us..we have to be willing to work and sacrifice for what we want. I know that we will feel better if we continue to do this, and that my confidence will also continue to get better and better. If anyone needs a good workout I highly recommend this one! We need to remember to Just Do It! :)

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...
