You Are For Me - Kari Jobe (Kari Jobe)

Love this song!

2 years ago today

Two years ago today I married my best friend. I always knew I would marry someone who makes me laugh and who wipes away my tears when I'm watching a movie i've seen a hundred times, lol, and I did just that. I married a great man, a man that has no problem going half way around the world to bring our daughter home. I couldn't have asked for better. Happy anniversary to us! -Mama 2 be

Birthday girl!!

Happy 6 month birthday baby A.J.!!!! We can't wait to see you! Side note- our 2 year anniversary is tomorrow!!! Whoo hooo!! -Mama 2 be

ughh

So I had posted several "posts" yesterday and they seem to have gone away. I am going to try to put those back up this weekend. Sometimes technology lets me down ugh . -Mama 2 be

updated nursery pics

Here are just some of things we've been busy doing in the nursery...We had to blur out A.J.'s face on the frame because we have not passed court yet. -Mommy 2 be

The calm "after" the storm

The last time I posted I was in a bad place. I was very angry and upset about not having a court date yet. While I am still upset about that I have been able to move past it, for now, and see the bigger picture- A.J. will be home with us forever before we know it. She will be in our family for the rest of our lives and I have a lifetime to smother her with hugs and kisses. Now, don't get me wrong I still want her home asap and cannot wait until the day that we get to meet her, but for now I have to remain calm and carry on. Sigh....Mommy loves you baby girl! -Mommy 2 be


(sorry about the Corona image posted on this picture...if I could take it off I would.)

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down...

It's a bitter sweet day. It's been two months since we received our referral and are still waiting for a court date. A.J. is nearing 6 months old and we miss her more and more. I love my baby girl, but today is a little hard to take in.


I do want to give thanks to a special family, despite this hard day. If it were not for the Zimmer family and their little Addia we would not be writing this blog to say the least. I can't remember now what holiday it was when we received an email from them, but we saw Addia's face for the first time in this email. It was such a beautiful little face that we just kind of looked at it for a few minutes without saying a word. Michael, my husband, then turned to me and said "I think they adopted her from Ethiopia"...I just looked at him and said " we should ask them about adopting from Ethiopia". We were in the midst of trying to conceive with no luck despite infertility treatments and had thought about adoption in the past. Little did we know that this email would change our lives. Within a few months we were sending in our application to adopt an infant girl from Ethiopia. Without that email we may never have thought of IA. It was such a blessing to receive that email in such a time of pain. Addia may never know how she changed our lives with just a simple email, but she has and we cannot thank her and her family,the Zimmer's, enough!! Thanks to them we now have a sweet little girl half way across the world. We owe them more thanks than we can ever say. Thank you Zimmer's! -Mommy 2 be
