New Year; New Beginnings

I am struggling at the moment to write my thoughts.

If only the rights words could describe how I felt as well as Bobby on the 30th of January it would sum this entire first entry and the meaning behind the beginning of this blog.

We decided as a couple back in November to look into the adoption process. Over the last couple of months we have been slowly getting information and ideas about the best people to help us with this decision and how to begin. With the help of my older sister and the best mother-in-law in the world; we decided to work with an attorney out of McPherson, Kansas. The only daunting aspect of this journey was the amount of money we would need to save and if this would hold us back any. With a little luck from our tax preparer and a LOT of luck from above, we will have more than enough to start the process.

So, next Tuesday, the 16th of February, we begin our journey down a road that we have chosen in the hopes of bringing home a little son or daughter to add to our family in little tiny Gypsum.

I know the possibilities are endless and we have definitely learned that things happen for a reason. I also know that we will get through this because we have the best families in the world standing right beside us rooting us on as we begin.
