Life as we know it

As I sit here in my family room, surrounded by the things I love, I thank the lord above for all he has given me. I thank him for my wonderful husband, who is so caring, handsome,funny, a hard worker and my very best friend. I thank him for helping us adopt our 2 wonderful greyhounds. Eugene and Libby and for now they are our kids! They are the sweetest 2 dongs in the world. Eugene has such a personality and Libby...well she is your typical girl with an attitude! I thank him for this beautiful older home of ours, that we have made our castle. For my family, my mother and father who are the best parents anyone could ever ask for. They are there when I need them and always give their advise...even when I don't ask for it. They are my best friends. For my brother, who is in the Air Force and protect our country from harm. I thank him for blessing me with a wonderful mother in law. I couldn't have asked for better. She is loving and caring and one of the funniest people I know. That is where Jeff gets his humor from! I thank him for my 2 best friends Amy and Katie. They are always there to ground me and to tell me to knock t off and get going and are there to hear me cry when I need too. They have great husbands and their kids...well I love them all. It makes my heart melt when I hear their little voices call me Aunt Coco. I just love those kids as if they were family. I thank god for bringing them too me.

When I was little I always said I would adopt a baby. You see my brother is adopted and I always felt it was a wonderful way of creating a family. I never really saw myself with a bio child always an adopted child. But then I met Jeff and all I could think about was having his baby. I guess god has a different plan for us. We are 3 months into our adoption process. You may say...only 3 months...and I think the same, but we have been talking about it since March of 2006. I was talking to a friend the other day and I told her that I think waiting for our child is much harder then all the infertility treatments. It is certainly not the same as when I lost our baby but the wait is much more difficult then the treatments. I had someone tell me that I was being negative about this process...and if you know me I don't think I am a negative person, I just think for me this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do...and that is turning it over to god. I am no longer in control of our adoption situation. It is not in my hands anymore and i am OK with it.

Well thank you for taking a peek into my world. Hugs and blessings to all!
