Our Birthmother Letter

I have been putting off writing our birthmother letter. Rick is also going to write part of it but until I start, he is just waiting. Well this evening I decided to start. I have been thinking about it for months now. Unsure of what to write. Wanting to outline it all before committing anything to "paper".
I wanted to make it long enough, about 1.5-2 pages and thought I would never be able to do it. Well I just finished writing and have to edit it down. By myself I filled 3 pages! Once I decided to start the words just starting spewing from my fingers. I know that I have been touch by the Spirit while writing but maybe a little bit less would have been good. hahaha
Each time I work on a different step, I am reminded that this is the right thing for us. I am SO excited! I thank my friends and family for their prayers and want all possible birth mothers who read this to know that we are praying for YOU and want you to know that our friends and family are praying for you too.

Baby Blessing

Rick was able to bless one of our great nephews in February. It was the first baby blessing Rick has been able to give. It was such a wonderful experience for all involved and it was great practice for him while we wait for our own baby.

Ricardo ~ The Pool Boy

So there is this lady I have known since high school. She was in the stake young women's at the time and I really liked her. I came across her on facebook and decided to add her. Today she added me and wrote asking who was the good looking guy in the photos with me in Cancun. I told her that it was "Ricardo the Pool Boy. Isn't he a dish?" And yes I used that term. She wrote back to me telling me "Ricardo the pool boy?!?!?! He's a hunk!!! Nice work girl!" Yeah she is jealous. She actually is about the same age too. She graduated in 77 from Skyline. It makes me giggle!
