Christmas Wishes

Christmas is upon us and as with most important holidays I find myself wondering. Christmas after all is a holiday celebrating birth and ultimately adoption. Joseph raised Christ as his own son, thereby adopting him into his family and for me today I'm wondering where my child is in the present...in the womb, in someones arms, or still yet to be created. I find myself rather yancy about our wait and the undermined time-table that adoption leaves us all in. I've said it so many times, waiting is by far the hardest thing we'll probably have to do in this journey. I just want our baby home in my arms surrounded by family and friends.



A few weeks ago our friends were blessed with the birth of their first child and holding him yesterday was so much fun. He is such an easy going baby, not very fussy, just likes to snuggle up and sleep. While holding him I couldn't think of anything more than the future of our child and him playing and growing up together as friends, starting school together, playing games, riding bikes, or camping out in the back yard. Growing up it was really the neighborhood kids that I made many lasting friendships with. Summers were spent out in the sun swimming, running, riding bikes, going on great adventures, or creating stories as we went. On rainy days we would end up in the basement of our house building tents or skating on the tile with our socks. Childhood was such an exciting adventure for me. I had such an imagination and I can't help but wonder what adventures our two children will host.

My Christmas wish is that we all feel the blessings of our family and friends and the joy those relationships bring to our lives. We are all very blessed to have the relationships we have and the people around us to take part in those wonderful times of the year.  I truly hope that all of you, my wonderful readers, have a blessed and very merry Christmas with family and friends and pause to remember the blessed miracle that gives all the chance to believe in a higher power and a future beyond this life.  Take care and stay warm!

Merry Christmas!!!

Never Change Anything that Makes You this Happy

It does not seem very long at all really, but still, when I think back five years ago to the end of June and beginning of July 2012 I can re...
