The figurine Aaron gave me....



Aaron was so busy at Wild Horse Canyon being a doctor and on one of the days, we lost contact with each other and couldn't find each other for about 2 hours.... I just assumed he was busy doctoring, but when we finally found each other, he had a bag with these items....

He got me the Willow Tree figurine of mother with a son.... earlier that week I had been telling Aaron how quickly Noah (our oldest) is growing and how much I feel like I've missed his young days.... He told me that this figurine reminded him of Noah and I and looking at it, I realized how special he is at this age! I was so surprised that he got this for me and I had no idea that the Wild Horse Canyon had a gift shop :) He also got me the magnet... he said this is a reminder of our adoption :) He seems to have figured out that I can get somewhat impatient with waiting for our daughter(s). What a sweet guy I have!

I was crying by the time I finished your post. I feel the same way about my oldest, Ethan. He is growing up to fast and I hate it. Your husband is great!

Portland Marathon 2013 (My First ever Marathon Recap)

I wanted to capture my moment by moment FIRST marathon experience so here goes: I'll start with the night before: We went over to Aaron's parents house to have some dinner with them as well as Micah & Danielle (Aaron's brother and wife) and their kids, Gabriel and Grace, and Mathew and Taylor (cousins of our kids).   We got back to our hotel (Hilton downtown) around 7:15pm and I organized my outfit for the big day while Aaron took the kids swimming at the pool.  I agonized back and forth about whether to carry my Nathan hydration vest or not for a week and Aaron finally helped me make the decision that although the aid stations were going to be plenty, I should go ahead and carry my own water.... because he knows that  1) I don't like stopping to get water even if it's a moment because I feel like I lose momentum 2) I am really BAD at drinking from the cups and have gotten multiple water sloshes up my nose (which hurts!) and water on my shoes (which, is BA...

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...
