3 Years and counting!!



Yesterday, Jerrod and I celebrated our third anniversary. Usually now is where I would tell you all how wonderful and extravagant our day was because Jerrod was in charge. We decided when we got married that we would switch off every year, so this year he was in charge of Valentines day and I was in charge of our anniversary. For those of you who really know my husband, you know that he is AMAZING at planning out special occasions like this. He always suprises me and makes sure that my day is the absolute best. I, on the other hand, struggle with this. I am not very creative when it comes to coming up with ideas, so he will never get what he gives me. I guess that is where I just have to show EVERYDAY how much I love him and appreciate him.

Tuesday night, Jerrod had a fever and wasn't feeling well. So, he stayed home from work yesterday. At first I was kind of bummed that he wouldn't get his suprises like I had planned, but it ended up being so wonderful to have him home all day long with me. He woke up feeling better than he did that night, so we got up and went out to breakfast.

When we came home we relaxed a bit and then when Kennedi layed down for a nap, we decided to take a nap too. It was so nice to just cuddle and take a nap in the middle of the day.

We just hung out the rest of the day until it was time for our date night. We went to dinner at Stanley and Seaforts in Tacoma and it was fantastic!

It was some of the best food that I have had in a restaurant in a long time. We then went to watch a movie, which is something that we love to do but haven't had the chance to a whole lot since Kennedi was born.
Kennedi stayed with some friends, and as much as we love her, it was nice to get out and be just "us".


I am so so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man. I love him with all of my heart and I couldn't have asked for anything better. He is not only and amazing husband, but an amazing father. It is so much fun to watch him be a daddy to Kennedi.
I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him. 3 years is just a beginning to our long lives together. I am so thankful for the knowledge that I have to know that we can be together for Eternity. And you better believe that we are in it for the long haul!


This isn't the greatest family photo, but Kennedi was wanting to get into the picture and so this was a quick one to make her not feel left out.

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
