Father's Day

I just wanted to thank my daddy for all the things he has ever done for me. I am eternally grateful that the LORD gave me christian parents to teach me the truth and I was able to learn and accept Christ as my personal Saviour at a young age and never really was tempted by the things of the world. My dad has always been there for me and even as an adult I know that I can always go to my dad for anything and everything. I think that I am the adult that I am today because my dad showed me responsibility as a child. I never got away with anything and if I wanted something i had to work for it. I hated it at the time but now I know that things arent given to me on a silver platter and things take work. I just wanted to say thank-you daddy for all you and mom did for me. I love you so very much. I can't ask for a better dad.

Memorial Day

I know I am several weeks late on this post but we had an awesome Memorial Day.

David and I got up that morning and had a nice quiet breakfast together. Than after breakfast I decided to make a picnic lunch for us for when we go to the zoo.

Then we spent the day at the Henry Doorly Zoo. There are a ton of animals that we didn't get to see half of the zoo and we were there from 10-3. One of David's favorite exibits was the Jungle escpecially the monkey's. I think he like the monkeys cause he is one. LOL!.

My favorite part that we saw that day was the MeerKats.

After a great day we had at the zoo we came home and had a Bonfire in our backyard. I just love spending time together as a family.

I need your help!

I am trying to boost up my business so I can raise money for my upcoming adoption. So I am doing a booking challenge. I am trying to fill my calendar so if you or someone you know wants to host a show for me either catalog or cooking. Please let me know. The first three cooking shows I get I will buy the ingredients for your recipe. Please contact me today.

Thanks again for your help!

 

God Bless

On my mind

My adoption has been on my mind alot lately. Just wondering when and how it is going to happen. I know  the LORD has a plan for us but I wish I knew what that plan is. I am so ready to be a mother. I want to share all my journeys with a child and on beautiful God given days like today where it is absolutely perfect out, I wish I could just take my child to the park and create memories for him or her. I know that I may not know when that is going to happen I do know this the LORD is our marvelous creator and if he can create such a beautiful world around us with the beaches un Hawaii and the beatifully landscaped mountains of Alaska. He can sure bless David and I with a child.

Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.

Alaska Trip

We went back home for Easter and it was so nice to see the entire family on this trip!

We left Omaha on the 23rd of April and we had a layover in Portland OR where David's dad and brother live so we were able to leave security and spend about 2 hours with them. Then we got on our flight headed to Anchorage!! I was really anxious on this flight and couldn't calm down. I just wanted to get to Anchorage not to mention the guy that sat next to us was just a little creepy he smelt of major BO and it made the 4 our flight LOONG. But before you know we were in Alaska! It felt as if I never left and to be honest I never wanted to leave again.

On the first day which was Easter Sunday we went to church and the Easter drama was Amazing!! Then after the morning service we went to David's mom's house and had a ham for Easter dinner than Sydney came over to do an Easter Egg hunt! That night I went to our church's Easter Pageant. It was really good. It was a little weird watching it and not being in it. I have been in it for the past 4 years.

Then on Wednesday the entire family went to Portage Glacier and Alyeska which was so much fun. A little chilly but fun. I posted pictures on my Facebook.
It was just great to see family and friends again. I really got attached to my neice Vanessa over this trip. She is such a sweet heart. She was barely 1 last time I saw her so I wasn't sure how she would react but she took to me like a fish to water. She wanted her Bekah. I can't wait to go back and see them all again. 10 days is not nearly long enough for me. I did not want to come home it was so sad. But I am back in Omaha and life has to get back to normal again.

Support

It is so great to have the family & friend support through all of this. I dont know what I would do without my friends & family and having each of their prayers in helping me through the emotional roller coaster of adopting. It is so emotional because I know that the birthmom is making a really hard decision I mean she has loved and cared for this gift from God for 9 months and now is choosing to let complete strangers raise their child. That is the most selfless thing a human being can do. I will always be eternally grateful for that woman for such a selfless act. There is probably a fear of the unknown on both ends of the story. My fear is that we put so much time and energy into doing all the paperwork and then she changes her mind. Which she will have every right to do. Her fear is probably the fear of knowing that she is making the right decision.

We have already begun the homestudy process and it is very very detailed. It really feels like I am a criminal they want to know every little detail about me and David. From directions to our house to our finances to our childhood life to what are parent's personalities are to getting background checks and finger prints from the FBI and the state. It is crazy how much they want to know about us. But I love my little monkey so much already that it is extremely worth it to me. I would give my right arm to be able to start my family. I know that the LORD has a precious little baby out there just waiting for the love that David and I have for it.

I just wanted to publically thank my wonderful friends & family for the wonderful support you all have blessed us with,

Its been a while Wow!

Wow! Its been a while since I blogged. A ton has happened since I last blogged. The biggest thing is we are finally getting a fence! YIPEE!! My dogs will be so happy. The put in post in our yard already and they hit 5 pipes to our water sprinkler which was not cool. But it is only costing us $30 to replace which is isn't bad.

Yesterday I went to ReRuns R Fun with a friend and I was able to get a really nice pack n play that has a mobile that plays music and has a changing table really cheap. We are slowly starting to get things for our little one. We are getting things we know we will need regardless of its a boy or girl and will not expire on us. I can't wait until our little one joins our family. The LORD has a plan and I just have to be patient and wait on his timing.

One last thing I found this verse and it really touched my heart about adoption.

You are the helper of the fatherless. LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Psalms 10:14,17-18
