Adoption

I think God has given me a heart for adoption, even as a single woman. This likely comes from watching Todd and Julie's family grow.

Here's a powerful video that Julie pointed me to today...

Crazy Michiganders

One of the highlights of my year so far...On Valentine's Day, I traveled to Michigan to see some of my favorite people: Todd, Julie, Andrew, John, Annie, Katie. This was my favorite trip out east...the boys are quite the story tellers, and the girls are absolutely adorable.

Here's a glimpse of bedtime...

Andrew & John...
crazy Annie...

Sweet Katie...

The week was filled with much anticipation and planning for the newest little one: Emily Hope. I can't wait to meet her!

The best part of all...I came away with a deeper conviction about the importance of praying boldly and specifically. What an incredible way to see God at work in our own lives, and then to get to praise Him when you see the prayer answered! And it's contagious, too! The more I've talked about how excited I am about specific prayer, the more people are catching the excitement.

So...I'm praying specifically...are you?

Tidbits

Ok, ok...so I'm one of the world's worst bloggers!!! I do actually have a handful of things I plan to blog on, but tend to never get around to it...call me lazy.

So, here's a few tidbits:

*Went to visit the Todd & Julie in Michigan for an extra long weekend during January.
*I've been traveling to Casper, WY for work ever since...I'm now on week 4.
*My brother bought a 1951 Chevy pickup...and they got it running one recent weekend.
*I got a legitimate case of laryngitis last week...while in Casper...yeah.
*My favorite niece (and only) turned 1 on St. Patty's day. Wow!

Hopefully I'll get around to posting more and some pictures too.
