Weird huh? I *HAVE* to weigh myself every morning and every night. I try not to, but it seems to mess up my morning if I don't, and I can't sleep if I don't weigh at night. I normally step on the scale before I even realize I'm doing it. My husband threw away our first scale because he got sick of seeing me weigh myself. So I bought another one and he figured it was a lost cause. And, it probably is!
I decided to start this blog so family and friends can keep up with us (and possibly get to know us better). Although technology is so far advanced, it seems difficult to keep in touch with each and every person. Even so, we think of you often. We are starting a new path in our lives and would very much like to share it with those we love. I'll give updates, throw some tidbits of adoption info out there, and tell some of my thoughts and feelings as we go along!

Just so you know...
There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to my, er I mean "our' blog. When the mood hits me I write about something. I don't mean to offend anyone... certainly not my goal. I just want people to learn about us and get to know us better. We like comments, so feel free to post some!

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day THREE
DAY THREE - A picture of the cast from your favorite TV show.
DEXTER: I'm not sure what bothers me more, the fact that I really like this show, or the person that came up with it.... This is the only series that I watch. I'm not much of a tv person. I normally don't have the attention span to sit down and watch something, but this show intrigues me. As a matter of fact, we netflix it and watch a few episodes a night... many times I've begged my husband to stay up late to watch "just one more" because I can't stand waiting until the following night. Of course, he always does, because he loves me :)

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day TWO
DAY TWO - A picture of you and the person you have been closet with the longest.
My heart just smiles thinking of this girl. We were childhood friends, went our separate ways in high school and after a terrible incident in which she shattered her leg we became good friends again. Until I landed myself in a troublesome relationship. After that relationship ended we were friends again, and started talking all the time. After the loss of our baby we became even closer and I don't know what I would do without her. She knows more about me than anyone. She knows my heart, my faults, my mistakes, my accomplishments and she's never judged me or treated me differently. She's always had my back, even when I didn't realize it. She is the true meaning of a friend. Every time Nick and I go "home" to visit, she ALWAYS takes the time to visit with us. It means the world to me.... this lady is too busy, but never too busy to spend time with me. I love you Peaches and Jam!

30 Day Picture Challenge
There is this picture challenge going around on Facebook (okay who knows maybe it was going around a year ago and I just caught wind of it!) that I thought was kinda neato. I decided to blog each day for 30 days about these random pictures instead of doing the Facebook thing. I spend entirely too much time there and not enough here, so I thought it might help me get into this "blogging" world a little more. After looking into it a little more I found that there is a 30 day, 60 day, and 100 day challenge. I'm totally sticking with the 30 days... I'll be lucky if I can get through a whole month!
Here is the list of pictures I'll be posting....
1. A picture of yourself with 10 facts
2. A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
3. A picture of the cast from your favorite show
4. A picture of a habit you wish you didn't have.
5. A picture of your favorite memory
6. A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day
7. A picture of your most treasured item
8. A picture that makes you laugh
9. A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most
10. A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with
11. A picture of something you hate
12. A picture of something you love
13. A picture of your favorite band or artist
14. A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without
15. A picture of something you want to do before you die
16. A picture of someone who inspires you
17. A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently
18. A picture of your biggest insecurity
19. A picture of you when you were little.
20. A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel
21. A picture of something you wish you could forget
22. A picture of something you wish you were better at
23. A picture of your favorite book
24. A picture of something you wish you could change
25. A picture of your favorite day
26. A picture of something that means a lot to you

Another contact
We were contacted by another expecting lady recently. She had emailed us, and we sent a reply back and have heard nothing in return. I have been so busy lately with other things, that I haven't thought about it much. Nick has asked about her several times. I think maybe he was a little nervous? I just know when the timing is right everything will fall into place. Granted, I would love for it to be right now, but I'm okay with it not being. I've been debating on whether or not I want to get the nursery painted and decorated. I have an idea of what I would like to do, just not sure if I should wait until we are matched or if we should start now. K is super excited about becoming a big sister. She tells me all the time that we need to go shopping for her baby brother or sister. She says, "Mom, we have to buy A LOT of bibs, because babies are messy!" Oh, my sweet child, you have no idea!
It's that time again!
It's garden time again! My dear sweet husband built a raised bed for me this year. I think I'm going to LOVE it! We decided to change the location of the garden this year because we would like to use the area we had it last year to build a shed. (wow that is a really long sentence!) He went to the local nursery and picked up some mushroom compost for me today. (apparently it's suppose to be really good for growing vegetables... I'll let you know this fall ;)) I shoveled a truckload full of dirt into my new garden bed. As of yet, I'm not sore, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow I'll be feeling it!
And of course, Miss K helped....
