Isn't she beautiful?

Aubrey and I met online about 2 or 3 years or so ago. I don't even know anymore. It feels like she has always been my bff. She is the one person I can always talk to. The one that is always there for me. She has gone through so much with me. I can not thank her enough. She was there every time my heart broke over a failed adoption and each time my nerves had me over the edge. She has got me through some tough times. She always knows the perfect time to text me or write me a message. It's always just when I need it the most.

I am so excited for her to marry Kevin.

I love your guts Aubrey and I am so happy for you and Kevin.

Thank you for being my best friend.

true love

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is full. 

While I am excited that I can stand on Mother's Day and accept my flower (and not have to sit awkwardly as they push one in my face), my thoughts and prayers are turned to a beautiful selfless woman, Korin. 

Oh how I love Korin.

She is my hero.

She is the woman I want to be.

The mother I want to be.

I hope she knows how much we love her.

The hardest part about our adoption (lets face it, adoption is so HARD) is not being able to see Korin every week or two. I loved going to her doctor appointments with her and spending time with her each week. I miss that. I miss her. 

This Mother's Day, my thoughts are for Korin and the beautiful little boy she placed in our arms. She placed the world in our arms. He is our joy. We love him more than words can express.

Happy Mother's Day dear Korin.

We love you!

and

Happy Birth Mother's Day.

We are thankful for you and thankful for our beautiful babe.

We can't wait to tell him more about you.

Busy, busyness.

This weekend was fabulous.

Thursday right after school we headed down to St. George to hang out with Matt, Amy and Miss M.  We had a great time!  Amy made us dinner and even gave us a tour of the new house.  It really is cute!  Around 10:30 PM, Amy and I headed down to the theater to get in line to see Twilight.  We figured we would be waiting in line for-ev-er.  We were pleasantly surprised to find out that there was not a line!  Yay for us!  So we sat in the theater and chatted for about an hour and a half while we waited for the movie to start.  It was so much fun!  I loved chatting with Amy !  Love her!  Matt , Dustyn and Miss M hung out at the house watching movies.  It was a good time for sure!

Twilight!  I thought it was good!  It was really weird for me to watch a book that I have read on the big screen.  I did not really like Edward too much, but overall I liked the movie.  I think if I were to see it again, I would like it far better than the first time.  I am sure that I will get the chance (Dustyn wants to see it) so I will let you know!  :)  Am and I had lots of fun laughing at the cheesy special effects and Jasper's face. ;)

Matt and Amy , thanks so much for having us down!  We had so much fun!  And thanks for letting us be the first guests to stay over at your house!  We'll be back, for sure!

On Friday we headed up to SLC where we met Arianne, Greg and Miss A! Miss A hung out with us while Greg and Arianne went to see Twilight.  We had so much fun with her and had lots of laughs.  She is such a cute princess George.  Just ask her.  :)  Afterwards Arianne and I stayed up and chatted and played on her blog.  They were also nice enough to give us a place to crash, again!  We always kick Miss A out of her bed, sad huh?  They are the best.  The next morning Arianne had a boutique at her house with lots and lots of cute, cute stuff.  It was a fun day.

Thanks for all the fun guys!  It was so good to see you again!  We'll be back up soon!  :)  And don't forget, Greg and Arianne are hoping to adopt!  Please pass along their information!

JaKell and the kids were even able to stop by!  It was so good to see them!  I miss them!  I am excited for Thanksgiving!  YAY!

We spent the rest of Saturday running errands and shopping for Thanksgiving!  It was a great, but busy weekend.

Of course I didn't take one picture, even though my camera was in my purse the entire time.  So, so sad.

And, if you didn't notice, we have a new button!  Feel free to add it to your blogs and help spread the news that we are adopting!
