Forever Family Day!

Happy Forever Family Day!! (I wanted to get this posted on Sunday but didn't get the chance.) The time has gone so fast! I look at these pictures from that day and can't believe that it has been one year! I think back to our first meeting with Nia. We were so excited to see her for the first time and to be able to meet her foster mother Mrs. Jeong. And, of course the day that we got her I was SO nervous!! I had no idea what to expect! But God is SO great! I trusted that because I knew that this was HIS plan, things would be ok, even if a little hard at times. I can't say enough about Mrs. Jeong and her family! They truly were an answer to pray. As soon as we started the process we began praying for our daughter, her birth parents and for whoever would be her foster family. Mrs. Jeong, her husband and their boys love Nia so much! We really hope that when Nia is a little older that we can all go back to Seoul and see them again.
We really felt incredibly blessed in that we had such a smooth process and then to be able to travel with the Marchik and Craney family, they will always be very dear friends! How fortunate we were to have each other to go through this experience with. Our love goes out to Jason, Katie and Paul and Rebecca, James and Cathy and Joseph!

Time Away With My Hubby! Mexico!!

What a lucky girl I am! Mark and I were able to get away last week and went to Mexico for five days. I owe my parents and sister and brother-in-law big time! They were so gracious to watch to watch the kids for us while we were away. We had so much fun just the two of us!

I thought it would be fun to go horse back riding. And it was, except that my horse kept taking off, here he was going out into the road and the guy had to come rescue me.


One of our romantic dinners. The food was fabulous and the resort was out of this world!








Drinks, food, whatever you want. Brought right to you! All inclusive is the way to go!





I love my hubby!






We took a catamaran out. Lord help me!! I was hanging on for dear life! They just let anyone take one out! Mark got a 30 second lesson. I kissed the sand when we got back to shore! We only nearly flipped once!







Can we just live here?








This is the life!
