Weekend Come and Gone..

The weeked for the most part was kind of blah. Saturday Jessica and I went shopping at the Lake of the Ozarks. It was a great day out. Sean worked all day at the jail. He came home and then we went and spent the evening with the Roberts Family. It was a nice evening.

Then yesterday.....where do I start? We kind of planned on missing church yesterday. I don't do the best on mothers & fathers day. I guess it is hard to understand. It seems like on those days I really get emotional and jealous that I don't get to participate. It is proabably very selfish of me but oh well. Sean and I instead spent the morning re-arraning the front bedroom. We got a twin bed from Stephanie and set it up in there. The room looks more like a bedroom now. I wanted to get this done before our home study. The afternoon was spend arguing with each other over stupid stuff. Like I said before it was just one of those emotional days. Sean worked at the jail last night and I spent the evening with my family. We went and visited both sets of grandparents gravsides. Then I went home, made some jewlery and chilled out by watching Bridezillas.

Today is a better day. Hopefully they all get to being better and better each day.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see!
Hebrews 11:1

It's just one of those days!

Well could the day have started any better? While we were driving I heard a funny sound, Sean said we just hit a bump. Well by the time we got to Jefferson City we had a flat tire. Sean got it changed only to realize we needed a new tire. So we ended up putting 2 new tires on the van.

Then I finally make it to work only to realize my coffee cup had a hole it it and I had coffee all over me. I am not in a good mood by this point.
So to say the least I have stayed pretty quiet and just tried to keep to myself because I am just in a weird mood today. I am tired and cranky and I really need a NAP.

We finally did get the bachlorette party shirts done last night....One thing to mark of my list.
Seems like this next month will be hectic with surgery, bachlorette party, rehearsal dinner and finally the wedding.

Oh how I am looking forward to August!

A great weekend..

Well the weekend has came and went. Saturday was busy with Stephanie and Andrew's Family shower. It was great. The weather was perfect. We could have not asked for a nicer day at the park. I am so happy we had a such a good turn out.

Yesterday was spent at the park for our church picnic. The weather was beautiful yesterday as well. Sean and I then went home and was lazy all afternoon. There is nothing better than laying on the couch and having Sean hold me all afternoon while we watched tv.

Andrea will be coming over tonight to work on bachlorette party stuff. We need to pick a design for the shirts for the party. I am looking forward to helping choose that. Stephanie just sent me the rest of her engagement pictures. They are really good. Take a look www.pictage.com/670797

Today is a much better day...

Well after my little melt down yesterday I am feeling better. I realize I have the BEST husband in the world. How could I not be any happier? He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has a huge heart. I may not always want to listen to what he is telling me but I know 99.9% of the time he is right. I just have so many blessings in my life that I sometimes forget to step back and count them...and that is what I did yesterday.

So my goal for this journey is not to let myself get to upset or let the stupidity of others bother me. I am only responsible for myself and my actions. Here's to a new day and a busy weekend.

And So The Journey Begins

Sean and I have finally decided that after about 4 years fo trying to conceive on our own that it was now time to try a different route. Sean and I have prayed about this decision for quite a while now and we feel that we are ready to begin this new journey in our lives.

Last night we finished all of the paperwork to begin the adoption/foster parent process. I felt like the papers were never going to end. From gathering our references to getting copies of our birth certificates, drivers licenses, SS cards and marriage certificate, I though it was never going to end. Then came the task of choosing the perfect snapshot of us. I went for our picture from a birthday party we recently attended. Finally having everything in order the papers were put in the mail at 8am this morning....now the wait.

We have told all of our immediate family and close friends about our decision. We have gotten a world wind of resposes. Seems everyone has their opinion and they aren't afraid to tell us. I appreciate every concern and trust me we have talked about almost all of them. Sean and I are going to love a child whether it is black, yellow red or green,

I told Sean on the way to work this morning this is the best I have felt in 3-4 years. I feel like a weight has been lifted from me and now I can finally be excited about having a child. I am ready for my turn to be the one to talk about all of the excitement of becoming a new parent.

My hope is that everything goes smooth for us and we will become parents soon. Sean and I have a lot of love to give a child. We both have the best family and friends in the world. Thank you all who have given us so much love and support already. We look forward to sharing our journey with you.

All our Love,
Jessica
