Father's Day 2011

Ummmm  yes I realize that it is October, but I am backed up through Father's Day, so bear with me.

Last year, we made Jerrod a Father's Day tie and he said, "I would really be okay if this is the only thing that I got every year."  Well, it is our new tradition.  This year, I LOVED the tie that we made for him.  It was a bit tricky fitting 3 hands on it, but we got it figured out and I thought it turned out really cute.






We sure love Jerrod.  He is an amazing father and husband.  I am so thankful for him and the man that he is.  The kids adore their Daddy and are always very excited to see him when he gets home from work.  When I married him, I had no idea just how wonderful of a father he would be.  Of course, I thought he would be, but when we became parents I fell even more in love with him.  Watching him with our children makes me so happy.  He is wonderful and he loves his babies.

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...
